It is the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month, and the capital is full of fire trees and silver flowers, brightly lit.

Chu Fengqi and Jing Yu left the palace and headed towards the area of ​​Yong'an Lake in the southeast of the palace city.

Yong'an Lake is connected to the Jingjiang River that passes through the city, and it is backed by Jinming Mountain.There are temples, Taoist temples, towers and various landscapes on the mountain, which are quite worth a visit.

During the Lantern Festival, the area of ​​Yong'an Lake and Jinming Mountain becomes even more lively.

The Lantern Festival is a three-day holiday.According to the usual practice, the Beijing-China Rich Chamber of Commerce will unite to light lanterns on Jinming Mountain for three days, from the fourteenth to the sixteenth of the first lunar month.All kinds of lanterns and colorful satin and silk will be hung on the branches and treetops of every tree on Jinming Mountain, decorating Jinming Mountain magnificently and brilliantly.

In addition, there are various attractive special programs such as releasing Kongming lanterns, inviting famous actors from all over the world to sing on stage, singing songs with thousands of people, lion and dragon dances, and lantern boats and lanterns.Of course, all kinds of gourmet snacks are available.

Chu Fengqi and Jing Yu walked slowly along the streets by the lake.

There are all kinds of small stalls on both sides of the street, selling candied haws, fried chestnuts with sugar, sugar paintings, five-color glutinous rice balls, 24-solar wontons, emerald steamed dumplings, barbecue and pancakes...

Those who sell lanterns, sell clay figurines, guess lantern riddles, tell fortune tellers, sell plasters, sell calligraphy and paintings, perform shadow puppetry, play monkeys, sing songs, and break boulders...

"This is... a light boat parade?"

Chu Fengqi was eating a bunch of candied haws with one hand, and lightly poked Jing Yu's arm with the other, motioning him to look behind him.

Jing Yu shook his head, nodded again and said, "It should be."

Chu Fengqi: "What should it be? Haven't you seen it?"

"I really haven't seen it before." Jing Yu said, "I just heard about it."

Chu Fengqi's eyes widened: "...You won't be celebrating the Lantern Festival outside the palace for the first time, right?"

As a native of the capital, Jing Yu probably has never seen what the Lantern Festival in the capital looks like or any lively events over the years.

The so-called "lightship" is actually a whole team.

While speaking, the team slowly moved forward from behind, and then passed by them.

A band of wind and drums lead the way, followed by "animal" vehicles in the shape of elephants, tigers, lions, buffaloes, etc. - hollow vehicles in which someone slides wheels and discharges fireworks from holes in the back of the vehicle.The middle part is also the most important part is the light ship. The huge and slender light ship is very ingeniously made. On the light ship, there are thousands of lanterns with various shapes, such as dragon lanterns, eight immortals crossing the sea lanterns, bead lanterns, and hexagonal exquisite landscape paintings. Dazzling.At the end are two rows of young girls carrying palace lanterns, wearing fancy dresses, light veils on their faces, and snow willow light balls on their heads.

Countless people chased after the lightboat team, laughing and shouting, and many people on both sides of the street rushed to watch the excitement.

All of a sudden, the noisy sound of gongs and drums and the noise of the crowd resounded through the sky.All kinds of exquisite lights on the ground are dazzling, and the girl holding the palace lantern, the gorgeous fireworks blooming in mid-air, dazzles people, makes people hold their breath, and moves people wholeheartedly.

When Chu Fengqi was looking up at the fireworks in the sky intently, a spectator accidentally bumped into the pillar of the lamp shed beside him.Unfortunately, the lamp shed was erected temporarily, and the pillars were not solid, so it fell down after being hit like this.

The lantern shed was originally full of lanterns, neatly hung on the beams row by row.

When the pillar on one side fell, the entire lamphouse also fell down.

"careful!"

In the nick of time, Jing Yu grabbed his shoulders, tapped his toes, turned around and took him aside with light work.

Rows of lanterns fell slowly in sight, the background behind him was close to his back, embracing his shoulders, his profile was so close that it was almost touching his cheek, his hot breath was almost spraying on his face, The intimacy of ear-to-eye contact.

"Uh... I'm fine." Chu Fengqi's face became hot, and his mind was confused for a moment, not knowing what he was talking about.

"It's fine." Jing Yu let go of his hand, and his expression was unnatural for a moment.

The ship's lights had already reached the front, and the surroundings seemed to be quiet.

Seeing Jing Yu's unnatural expression, Chu Fengqi calmed down instead.

"Where are you going next?" He asked, looking for a topic.

"Let's take a stroll around first, and then go up to Jinming Mountain."

"Go to Jinming Mountain?" Chu Fengqi was curious.

"...you will know when the time comes."

"Ok."

**

The two walked around casually, watching and eating while walking.

Chu Fengqi ate candied haws, candied chestnuts, five-color glutinous rice balls, barbecue, fried dumplings, etc. one after another.He definitely couldn't finish eating a portion of everything, and he shared it with Jing Yu.In this way, he can eat more delicacies with his stomach.

Both of them are outstanding people with first-class appearance and temperament, and they can be said to stand out from the crowd.In addition, the costumes are quite gorgeous and expensive, so that they frequently attract attention, and many people even stare dazedly.

However, no one came to strike up a conversation and disturb him.Maybe it's because the two of them don't seem to be easy to mess with?

No one bothered, which was in line with Chu Fengqi's wishes.

It would be even better if not so many people watched them.

Fortunately, no one disturbed Chu Fengqi, and just as she was about to leave after buying a small bag of icing cherries, a noble-looking young girl in light gauze walked over with a maid by her side.

"My lord," the young girl stopped not far away, and the maid who came up to talk to the young girl was holding a hexagonal palace lantern in her hand, looking at him and said, "My lady thinks This lamp just matches the young master, I wonder if the young master is willing to accept it?"

Chu Fengqi: "..."

If he remembers correctly, the gift of lanterns during the Lantern Festival has the meaning of matching eyes.If the person who is given the lamp accepts it, it means seeing each other in the same eye.

It is rare for ladies in the boudoir to go out once, and even if they go out, they are bound by etiquette.Shangyuan night is a day when they rarely go out and are not so restrained.The Shangyuan Festival is a good festival to encourage the conclusion of marriage and the formation of two surnames. On this day, there are many young men and women who are right.

However, Chu Fengqi never thought that he would be given lamps by others—usually men give lamps to women, and few women take the initiative to give lamps boldly.

He was so surprised that he didn't reply immediately.

At this moment, he felt a pain in his waist——Jing Yu, who was standing beside him with a dark complexion, stretched out his hand and pinched his waist.

"Thank you for your love, but I'm sorry." Chu Fengqi said lightly, and finally recovered in time to refuse.

"Oh, what a bother." The maid left with regret, and whispered something to the young girl in light gauze.

The young girl wearing light gauze glanced at this side after hearing what the maid said, but Chu Fengqi didn't pay attention, and even if she did, she wouldn't bother.

He secretly hooked Gou Jingyu's palm with his fingertips, then picked up a frosted cherry and handed it to Jing Yu's mouth: "How about the taste?"

The cherries in early spring are still slightly green and sour, which is just right with the white and sweet icing. The red is white, and the sour is sweet.

Jing Yu doesn't like to eat too sweet food, but he still likes sweet and sour food.

——Chu Fengqi is feeding along the fur as he likes.

Otherwise, he felt that Jing Yu might be jealous of himself.

"It's okay." Jing Yu ate the frosted cherry with Chu Fengqi's hand, and secretly glanced coldly at the young girl who looked over, his eyes coldly containing warnings and threats.

The young girl was dumbfounded, startled and embarrassed, as if she didn't expect this kind of relationship between them.

"Since it's okay, then it's not bad?" Chu Fengqi also noticed Jing Yu's little movements, and felt amused in his heart.

He felt that Jing Yu was sometimes extremely naive—but he was cutely naive.

If it were him, if he saw someone courting Jing Yu, he would certainly not be indifferent.

As for the intimacy of feeding in public, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. It’s someone else’s business to be scared—it’s just feeding a few cherries, and it’s not a measure of intimacy that the public can’t accept. .The two of them have a relationship that has passed Minglu, isn't it natural to show their affection openly?

He was even secretly a little excited about Jing Yu's declaration of sovereignty.

"Are you happy?" Jing Yu said in a cool tone.

Chu Fengqi fed Jing Yu another frosted cherry, coaxing him naturally: "Of course I'm happy if you like it."

Jing Yu's face looked better now, and he also took a frosted cherry and fed it to him: "It's very sweet, you can try it too."

Chu Fengqi: "..."

Chu Fengqi took a bite of the cherry with his hand.

Mmm, really sweet.

What your sweetheart feeds must be sweet!

**

Not long after walking, Jing Yu's good face gradually became extremely gloomy when more and more people looked over and stared at Chu Fengqi's face.

Chu Fengqi was also not very happy, because many people were fascinated by Jing Yu's face, and some even wanted to give Jing Yu a lamp.

After sending away an arrogant and difficult young lady, Chu Fengqi looked at Jing Yu with dark eyes, and said through gritted teeth in a voice that only two people could hear: "Your Majesty is as welcome as ever."

He emphatically highlighted the words "as always", obviously recalling the incident of someone presenting beauty at the palace banquet before.

"My fault." Jing Yu unexpectedly admitted his mistake immediately.

"???"

"How about we buy a mask and put it on?" Jing Yu reached out and rubbed his slightly frowning brows with his fingertips.

Jing Yu's fingertips were slightly cold, and Chu Fengqi's eyelashes trembled slightly as he pressed his brows so softly and intimately.

"Also... OK."

I didn't think about wearing a mask before because I didn't think it was necessary.And they can't see each other's full faces with the mask on.

Now, I still think it's better to wear a mask.

Jing Yu rarely showed a smile: "We just happened to pass by a small stall selling masks not long ago, so go back and have a look?"

Chu Fengqi: "..."

No wonder he admitted his mistake so graciously just now.Dare Situation Yu, this jealous jar, has been secretly trying to persuade him to put on a mask, right?

After walking back for a while, I arrived at the small stall selling masks.

Chu Fengqi picked up one of the rabbit masks: "What do you think of this rabbit mask?"

"Very good." Jing Yu said with a serious face, but his eyes lit up, "You wear it right."

"Really?" Chu Fengqi turned the mask in his hand, and said with a slight smile, "This rabbit mask looks cute, I think it's more suitable for you to wear."

Jing Yu: "..."
