I was vying for favor with four big daddy

Chapter 829
Before the sky was completely dark, the streets of Suzaku were already crowded with people.

From the northernmost side of the street to the southernmost side, there is a small shop selling lanterns every few steps, and there are shopkeepers interspersed among them.

In order to attract business, the lantern sellers came out of the lantern shed one after another.

In addition to fresh and interesting hawking, they also perform various lantern shows.

Monkey lamps drill into the ring of fire, shell lamps spit water, peacock lamps turn on their screens, whistle lamps that can blow sounds, and so on.

On the Jinhe Bridge on the east side of the street, a rainbow light bridge hangs in the air.

There are elegant Eight Immortals on the bridge, among which He Xiangu keeps pouring various lanterns from the lotus.

Lotus lanterns, peony lanterns and mandala lanterns fell from the sky into the Golden River, winding along the river.

Several cruise ships floated by on the river, and the guests on the cruise ships gathered at the bow to watch happily.

The place they went was Yongning Terrace where dragon and phoenix lanterns were placed.

Chen Yue lay on the Jinhe Bridge and looked at it for a while, then she couldn't help turning her head and said to Su Changan: "Little Jinqiu, you arranged it well."

"Isn't this the most lively lantern festival with the most variety in the past ten years?"

In front of his fiancée, Su Xiaogong was so proud that he was about to go to heaven: "That's right, I don't even look at who the young master is."

"There is no second man in the entire capital who is as rich, smart and capable as my young master."

Chen Yue curled her lips and glared at him: "If you say you are fat, you are really out of breath. You are not humble at all."

Su Changan shook his head triumphantly: "This is all my fault, why can't I say it?"

"There are so many shops on Suzaku Avenue from south to north, so many lights flying in the sky and people running on the ground, do you want me to arrange it?"

"Do you want to prevent water leakage? Do you want to prevent chaos? Do you want to arrange shadow guards to protect the safety of you and Emperor Zun?"

Su Changan tossed his hair triumphantly: "It's already messed up with someone else."

"That's my young master. I've arranged for you in less than ten days. With this ability, why don't you find the second one to compare?"

Chen Yue lowered her head to eat the candied haws in Yan Gui's hand.

Ming Wuci cracked melon seeds with Feng Mingyuan's hand.

Tang Jiao took out a paper bag of dried fish and distributed it to Qian Shuang.

Yu Ji winks at the girl when she has nothing to do.

Miss Gao put on her maid's attire to look at the scenery.

Su Changan: "...Hey, can you be human?"

Chen Yue grinned: "Okay, okay, I know that Mr. Su is the best in the world, so I will write you a will tomorrow and hang it on my chest."

Su Chang'an said arrogantly: "What's the use of the will? Give me the money, I've worked so hard for so long, I can't be in vain."

Before Chenyue could answer, Yan Gui casually said, "Brother will take you to buy chestnuts?"

"Okay, let's go."

Holding hands, the little lover flew up, and jumped to the opposite bank a few times, causing a series of exclamations.

Su Changan's nose was twisted with anger, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "...you just get used to the little monster, let her be a monster sooner or later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw all the people around him jumping to the opposite bank one after another, leaving only him and Miss Gao staring at each other.

Losing is not losing, Su Changan said angrily: "...what's so great?"

Miss Gao was surprised: "Chang'an, you, can you fly?"

Su Changan cleared his throat: "...I, I will, watch them fly."

Miss Gao: "..."

Finally, they arrived at Yongningtai by boat.

Yongningtai used to be the place where the oath army went out, so there was an open space.

As the size of Daliang's army grew larger and larger, this place was too small to be abandoned, and it became a place for lantern festivals or literati competitions in poetry.

There were so many people on Yongning Terrace that the huge dragon and phoenix lanterns were placed here, and one dragon and one phoenix were flying in mid-air.

The flaming phoenix spouted fire for a while, the fuel in the lamp was exhausted, and its tail drooped a little.

There are craftsmen standing on the observation decks on the east and west sides. They are storing fuel in the Phoenix Lantern, and they can continue to fly after re-igniting.

And the golden dragon lantern is whistling and passing by at low altitude with unstoppable momentum, grazing the heads of the people watching the lantern.

Immediately, there was a large exclamation from the crowd: "The dragon scale looks real, I can't even open my eyes because of its brilliance."

"Look, look, the dragon's eyes are moving, as if he was angry because he couldn't hold the ball."

"The phoenix over there is also flying. I can't wait for the performance of playing dragons and phoenixes."

"There is still half an hour before the auspicious time. The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious for Emperor He and the empress. Otherwise, the Su family can hold such a big lantern festival?"

"So the wedding date of Emperor Zun and His Majesty has been fixed? We are going to have a queen in Daliang too?"

"Who else is the empress besides our empress? Children can tell the legend of the emperor and the empress for three days and three nights, right?"

The people watching the lanterns talked a lot, stretched their necks and waited to see the dragon and phoenix presenting auspicious lanterns.

Soon, the sound of solemn silk and bamboo rites and music sounded on the viewing platform.

The sound of the three bells and drums ended, and the dragon and phoenix lanterns in midair suddenly changed direction and circled towards each other.

The golden dragon was full of energy, and spit a fireball towards the sky, bursting into a burst of fireworks.

At the end of the fireworks is a flying crimson phoenix, its tail spread out like a ball of flame, and there is a flash of fluorescent light behind the tail.

They are intertwined with each other, and the whole body is soon surrounded by curling clouds and mist, slowly disappearing into the sky.

Then came the fireworks with the words "dragon and phoenix present auspiciousness" and "luan and phoenix singing in harmony", soaring into the sky.

Immediately, Yongning Terrace was almost overturned by loud cheers.

When the common people were happy, they raised their hands and cheered: "Bless the Emperor and His Majesty to be united forever and give birth to a precious son soon."

"The Great Liang will last for thousands of years, and enjoy peace forever—"

Amidst the cheers, someone under the Yongning stage raised their arms and shouted: "Such a magnificent scene, why don't you students compose a poem as a souvenir?"

"it is good."

A group of Confucian scholars in green clothes and plain robes quickly joined in. They sat on the ground, took out pens and paper and bowed their heads to write poems.

Chen Yue was attracted by the sound, tiptoed to look at that place.

Qian Shuang made a gesture, and soon a shadow guard came across the crowd: "If you go back to His Majesty the Emperor, it's a group of Confucian scholars."

"Most of them are Juren from Chunwei this year, as well as scholars from Chongwenguan and Gongxue. In addition, female Confucian scholars from the three states of Nan'an also came."

Chen Yue's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Are the Confucian women? Are they really here?"

Feng Mingyuan next to him smiled: "It's a female Confucian, it's the first time for a female Confucian to participate in the spring, this is a new thing in Daliang."

"Brother, let's go and see—"

Chen Yue dragged Yan Gui and ran down Yongning Terrace.

There are forty or fifty Confucian scholars sitting on the east side of the stage, and more than 20 female Confucian scholars on the west side.

The Confucian scholar who called to write poems stood behind the front desk.

He was holding a newly written poem in his hand, and for some reason, he picked up one and looked at it before putting it aside.
