The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 120 Extremely Happy

Two days later, it was Lantern Festival.

At the hour of Xu, the full moon hangs in the sky and the capital city is bustling with activity.

Thousands of colored glass lanterns looked like stars fallen into the mortal world, illuminating the ten-mile-long street as if it were daytime.

The revolving lanterns were spinning gently on the eaves, with beautiful silhouettes floating in the lamplight. The lotus lanterns were drifting down the river, and the bright candlelight and the rippling waves were intertwined, drawing a dazzling and winding galaxy.

The sugar painting stalls were filled with the aroma of burnt sugar, the lantern sellers' shouts were wrapped in the flavor of honey, and children holding rabbit lanterns were laughing and walking through the crowd, their laughter like golden bells shattering the lights on the street.

Sheng Yunqing, wearing a pale blue waist-length skirt, looked at Sheng Yueying and Sheng Yi running away and shouted with a smile, "Don't run too far! Watch your wallet!"

"Got it!" Sheng Yi turned around and waved to Sheng Yunqing, then ran away holding hands with Sheng Yueying.

"Fairy sister, the Lantern Festival in the capital is so lively." Su Lan walked to the stalls from time to time to look at the various exquisite ornaments, bamboo toys, and sugar painting stalls where the masters painted the crystal clear sugars vividly.

The vendor picked up the candy rabbit and gave it to her, smiling and saying, "Girl, would you like to buy one?"

Sheng Yunqing's fingertips brushed across the octagonal palace lantern hanging in front of the stall. The patterns of mountains and sea beasts painted on the lantern trembled slightly with the candlelight.

She looked at the greedy Su Lan who took out her purse for the eighth time and said with a smile, "I missed it when I came to the capital last year. What a pity. The capital is now much more lively than when I was a child."

In a moment, Sheng Yunqing was biting a string of candied haws, the sugar coating crumbling into stars between his lips, Dong Ning was holding the cloth tiger she had just won, and Chun Rui was standing on tiptoe to pin the newly bought butterfly velvet flower on her hair.

"Fairy sister, that revolving lantern can perform magic tricks!" Su Lan suddenly pulled her sleeve. Before she finished her words, the three-story-high lotus lantern "swish" opened, and a carp made of gold foil jumped out from the center of the flower, causing people on the street to exclaim in surprise.

Ye Jinchen stopped in front of the sugar figurine stall, his dark uniform gilded by the warm yellow candlelight.

Wherever he went, people made way for him and he came into the crowd effortlessly. Looking at Sheng Yunqing who was fascinated by the magic trick and clapping his hands in applause, he showed a doting smile.

He reached out and wiped the candied haws crumbs that accidentally remained on the corner of her lips, and said, "Is there a show you want to watch? I'll arrange it for you."

Sheng Yunqing looked at him sideways, her dark eyes reflecting the dimming lights, as if inlaid with stars. She smiled so brightly and asked, "Is there a puppet show?"

Ye Jinchen turned his head to Pei Xuan and said, "Go and prepare."

Seeing Pei Xuan walking away, Sheng Yunqing raised his lips and said, "Your Majesty is very busy, do you still have time to play?"

Ye Jinchen naturally took her hand, interlocking his bony fingers with hers, and led her out of the crowd, walking blatantly on the noisy street, saying, "I will naturally come to accompany you when I am done with my work."

A carriage was hurriedly coming over not far away. Ming Yulan saw the tall figure in the crowd and hurriedly asked the driver to stop. She jumped down with her skirt lifted up. Three-tenths of the lotus seed soup had already spilled out of the green jade cup in her hand.

Recently, she heard that Ye Jinchen and Sheng Yunqing were in love, so the maids around her found many Taoist priests and spent a lot of money to get a talisman, which she put into the loquat soup. With her blood as the lure, she could make Ye Jinchen fall in love with her!

Sheng Yunqing is a master of mystical arts. As long as she can get Ye Jinchen to drink the talisman water quickly, Sheng Yunqing will probably have no more tricks up his sleeve.

A few days ago, I was frightened by Mu Jiyue's poisonous insect and fell ill. I just recovered today. I slept for a long time during the day. When I woke up, the Lantern Festival had already begun. I almost missed Ye Jinchen.

"Your Majesty..." She stopped in front of Ye Jinchen. Under her exquisite and gorgeous makeup, a thin layer of sweat oozed from her forehead. She looked nervous and nervous. She ignored Sheng Yunqing beside her and handed the thing in her hand to him. "The pear and loquat soup that I just learned to make is the most moist..." Before she finished speaking, a black cat suddenly jumped out of the sugar painting stall on the side of the road, startling Ming Yulan so much that she took a few steps back and spilled some of the soup in the bowl.

In the darkness not far from the crowd, the sound of silver bells rang pleasantly. Mu Jiyue hooked his fingertips, and a strange red light flashed in his cat's eyes.

As Ming Yulan staggered backward, all the soup spilled onto Ye Jinlan's blue and white dragon robe as he passed by.

Ye Jinlan was stunned for a moment, then he exhaled helplessly, his voice revealing displeasure: "Second Miss Ming has a good eye, she picked out my new clothes to splash."

"Your Highness, please forgive me! Yulan didn't mean it!" Ming Yulan stepped on the hem of her skirt in panic, and the black cat seemed to be possessed and attacked her again, scaring her so much that she screamed and knocked down a vendor carrying candied haws. Several strings of candied haws stuck to her gorgeous clothes.

Sheng Yunqing glanced at the loquat soup spilled on the ground, and a faint talisman floated up and disappeared in an instant.

She looked at Ming Yulan's embarrassed look and couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Second Miss Ming, is this the program you carefully prepared?"

Ming Yulan's face suddenly turned red with shame. She gritted her teeth, frowned, glared at Sheng Yunqing, lowered her head, stood up, and hurriedly ran back to the carriage.

The black cat with strange behavior walked, and its eyes suddenly became clear again. It looked around and then ran away.

A tiny red poisonous insect accidentally fell from the cat's tail and was crawling towards Sheng Yunqing.

But before he could touch the hem of her skirt, she turned over as if stung by something, and her instincts were gone.

Mu Jiyue shook the bell in his hand, but there was no movement. The red poisonous insect in his hand also died, curled up into a ball and fell to the ground.

She looked at Sheng Yunqing in the distance and sneered, saying meaningfully: "Miss Sheng, you are really immune to all poisons."

Ye Jinchen looked at Ye Jinlan's wet clothes and raised his lips unconsciously.

Ye Jinlan looked at his normally serious brother, who smiled at him for the first time, and sighed helplessly, saying, "Brother, are you happy to see me make a fool of myself?"

Ye Jinchen's smile was even more undisguised, and he said, "I'm extremely happy."

Ye Jinlan raised his hand and pointed at him. Without saying anything, he turned and left, saying to the guard beside him, "Go back and change your clothes."

"Yes."

Sheng Yunqing looked at his departing back, nudged Ye Jinchen with his elbow, and said, "What deep hatred do you have with King Xian? Why do you hate him so much?"

Ye Jinchen raised his eyebrows and said, "In this world, people will always find others unhappy for some unknown reason. He looks unhappy to me, that's all."

Hearing this, Sheng Yunqing chuckled. So this was the only reason? Ye Jinchen was really a childish ghost.

"Brother Chen!" Mu Jiyue appeared from nowhere and stood in front of Ye Jinchen with a smile.

Ye Jinchen glanced at her and asked, "What's the matter?"
