Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

When the rain subsided a little, everyone decided to continue on their journey.

"Your Majesty, the next town is called Lotus Town." Duolong explained with a smile.

This Lotus Town is quite famous.

I heard that everyone in this town believes in the Lotus Goddess and holds a Lotus Festival every year, which is quite spectacular.

"Really?" Qianlong became interested when he heard it.

"It is said that a long time ago, when Lotus Town was not called Lotus Town, a group of foreigners came to the town one day and committed all kinds of evil, including burning, killing, looting and robbery."

"Everyone in the town is in a state of panic and suffering."

"There is a respected elder in the clan who is knowledgeable and has suggested that we ask for help from Lady Lotus."

"I don't know if it was a coincidence, but after the people in the town went to pay homage to the Lotus Goddess that day, the group left Lotus Town for various reasons."

"Since then, people here have become more devoted to the Lotus Goddess, and a grand celebration is held on that day every year."

"The town's Lotus Festival will be held in two days."

Duolong has a talent for storytelling, and his stories are full of ups and downs and full of wit and humor.

With a beard and a slightly funny expression, it can be said that he has a bit of humor in him.

He Xi and the others listened with great interest and became interested in this Lotus Town.

Qing'er leaned in quietly and said, "It should go smoothly."

It’s hard for He Xi to put it into words. There have been so many twists and turns along the way that she felt like they were born with a buff for trouble.

"The Lotus Festival in Lotus Town is also famous for making a wish in the lotus pond, which will lead to love."

Duolong looked at everyone and realized that it seemed unnecessary.

Fukang'an and Hailancha glared at Duolong.

"Hehe, couples can also go and pray for their love and affection." Duolong added weakly and aggrievedly.

He is really the best choice for being at the bottom of the food chain.

Even Lan Xin couldn't bear to look at it, what else could she do with her own conspicuous bag?

"Then can I ask for a marriage?" The speaker was Yongjing, who had always been inconspicuous.

He was a relatively reserved person and agreed with Duolong.

"It seems that my little Thirteenth has grown up." Qianlong joked.

Yongjing blushed. He was well protected by Queen Hexi and Yongqi, and he was thin-skinned.

In addition, he has been in poor health since childhood and rarely sees outsiders. He was brought out this time, so his personality is relatively simple.

Everyone laughed, but it was a good-natured laugh; everyone was unexpectedly open-minded in that regard.

When you enter Lotus Town, you can clearly feel that this town really loves lotus.

Lotus totems are everywhere, and even people’s clothes have lotus embroidered on them.

"Young masters and young ladies, come and take a look!" a street vendor called out to them.

They sell handicrafts, most of which are in the shape of lotus flowers.

When a few people came closer, the hawker immediately fell silent. He didn't feel it from a distance, but when they got closer, he became a little timid.

He Xi squatted down slightly and looked at the wooden hairpins on the stall.

In fact, the material of this wooden hairpin is just ordinary, but you can see that it was made with great care, and the lotus is also carved to be lifelike.

"Um... Gentlemen, would you like to take a look?"

He Xi nodded. She really liked this kind of folk handicraft.

Although not as magnificent as those built in the palace, it has a unique wild charm.

Hexi put a wooden hairpin on her head, turned around and asked Fukang'an with a smile.

"Does it look good?"

Fu Kang'an nodded gently: "Beautiful! My wife is so beautiful!"

Duolong's annoying nature came to the fore again: "Sir, Fifth Miss, your man only knows how to say beautiful!"

"Ouch—" Duolong bent over in pain, and Lan Xin calmly withdrew her foot.

This kid has to strike back with a heavy punch, and Fukangan will then retract his fist.

Lan Xin: I’m saving him!

He Xi was shy for a moment, but only for a moment.

She still liked the hairpin very much and asked the vendor about its price.

The hawker was a very honest man and did not ask for too much just because of what the people were wearing.

After hearing the price offered by the vendor, He Xi paid the bill readily.

Fu Kang'an helped He Xi put the lotus wood hairpin on her head.

"I wonder who made this wooden hairpin?"

"Oh, these are all made by my wife." The vendor answered happily. He was finally open today and was very patient with He Xi, a customer.

"Your wife is really clever and skillful."

The vendor's eyes lit up: "Of course! My wife is great, she's pretty and deft."

When talking about his wife, the peddler could not stop talking, as if he could talk about her for three days and three nights.

The vendor's expression showed that they had a good relationship. His eyes and eyebrows were filled with love for his wife.

"Would you mind asking your wife to tailor-make some wooden hairpins for me?"

Although this wooden hairpin is not very valuable, the carving is really nice.

"Don't worry, the labor fee will not be less."

"Really?" The peddler's eyes lit up again. He knew that his wife was capable.

But he also asked cautiously: "Miss, when do you want it?"

The time is too short, and I’m afraid his wife can’t do it.

He Xi thought about it and decided that based on previous itineraries, it would take about two or three days.

What's more, the town's Lotus Festival is two days later. According to Qianlong's temperament, he will probably save it until then.

When it comes to joining in the fun, Qianlong is no less than anyone else.

"About two days later."

The peddler looked embarrassed. He was worried that his wife was too tired, so he thought about refusing.

"Row!"

Just as the vendor was about to refuse, he heard a voice. It was his wife coming.

"Wife, why are you here?" As he said this, he went forward to support his wife.

He Xi was a little surprised because his wife was pregnant and her baby was already showing.

He Xi wanted to withdraw her request, as she couldn't bear to trouble a pregnant woman.

Perhaps she noticed He Xi's retreat, the peddler's wife said with a smile: "Miss, don't worry too much."

But the peddler obviously didn't agree, and only after his wife whispered something to him did he reluctantly agree.

However, he also requested that the quantity should not be too large, otherwise he would rather not make the money.

He Xi didn't have such idea, so he discussed it with his wife and agreed to make four wooden hairpins.

They are lotus, peony, plum blossom and crabapple.

When He Xi and the others left, they saw the hawker helping his wife sit down.

"Xue Niang, why are you here?"

"I was worried that you didn't eat." His wife said gently.

It can be seen that they are a very loving couple.

He Xi also laughed when she saw this. People can always empathize with those happy moments, and the happiness of others can also be passed on to her.

How wonderful! Every time I encounter such weird people and things, it is also very tiring.

Ordinary happiness may not be rich, but the feeling of mutual support is equally great.

Duolong arranged an inn early on.

His ability to get things done has made great progress during this tour.
