Chapter 134
Li Ke deliberately did not think about Changsun Bingning, but she was like a tear hidden in his heart, which would always come to his heart.
Every time at this time, Li Ke would lock himself in the study and practice calligraphy calmly, so that he could temporarily suppress his longing.
After three days like this, the Lantern Festival was coming.
Li Ke first went back to the palace to pay tribute to Li Shimin and Concubine Yang, and then accompanied them to the city tower to enjoy the lanterns. He waited until Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were trapped and returned to the palace to rest before returning to the palace.
It was getting late at this time, but Lan'er was still waiting for him because Li Ke promised her to take her to see the lanterns.
Seeing Lan'er dressed up as she was particularly beautiful today, Li Ke felt guilty for returning so late.
Girls like to play, Lan'er followed him after she came to the Tang Dynasty.
Then, after he moved to the Han Palace, he followed him, serving his daily life and food every day, never leveraging others' hands, for fear that Li Ke would not get used to it.
When Li Ke thought of this, he looked at Lan'er with anticipation and smiled, "Let's go, let's go to enjoy the lanterns and guess riddles."
Seeing Li Ke say this, Lan'er nodded happily and followed behind him.
After leaving the Han Palace, Li Ke and Lan'er came to the most lanterns and the most beautiful place, Zhuque Street.
Chang'an City is full of various lanterns, from Xuanwu Gate, Zhuque Street, and Chaoyang Gate.
There are more than a hundred kinds of lanterns hanging everywhere, of varying sizes and shapes, such as dragon and phoenix auspicious lamp, dragon boat racing lamp, South China Sea Guanyin lamp, dragon head auspicious lamp, two dragon playing with pearl lamp, hundreds of birds paying phoenix lamp, lotus lamp, peacock lamp, carp lamp, little New Year lamp, etc., and are placed in the lantern riddles. If anyone can guess, the lamp can belong to whom. The content of the riddle is mixed, idioms and allusions, and medical names are everywhere.
There are also many people visiting lanterns and guessing riddles, which blends the scenes of Chang'an City and reflects its prosperous appearance in Kyoto.
Li Ke and Lan'er rushed towards a place with the most crowded tides, and Chen Qi followed them slowly. More than 20 eagle guards also scattered into the crowd, always watching the movements around them in case of accidents.
"Your Highness, let's go over and take a look, too?"
Lan'er said excitedly at the place with the most crowds.
"good."
Li Ke agreed.
Then, the two of them squeezed into the crowd, and came closer to find that they were guessing riddles.
At the dim light, a woman in green and a maid in pink stood with her back facing everyone, admiring the lanterns placed in front of them. They already had four lanterns in their hands, which were obviously obtained after guessing the riddles.
There were many people watching next to me, wanting to see if this talented woman could get the largest Guanyin lamp in the South China Sea.
There was another person next to the Guanyin Lantern in the South China Sea specifically explaining, "Everyone, these lamps are made by Wankeju, the most famous restaurant in Chang'an. There are still four riddles left with no guesses. If you can guess the riddles of these four lamps, you can guess this Guanyin Lantern in the South China Sea."
Then, I looked at the two women in front of me, "This girl has guessed four lamps in a row. Now who can come out and guess four lamps in a row can guess the riddles in the Guanyin lamp in the South China Sea with this girl.
Whoever can guess will be the one who will belong to this Guanyin lamp in the South China Sea.”
Everyone onlookers applauded when they heard this, but no one dared to come forward and guess riddles.
After all, it is already amazing that a girl can guess four lantern riddles in a row.
If anyone goes up at this time, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he couldn’t guess it?
So, everyone was watching, looking at each other, shaking their heads without saying a word.
When Li Ke saw the woman in green, he was observing her carefully because her back looked too much like a person.
The woman in green seemed to notice someone was looking at her. She looked back slightly and saw that behind her were people watching riddles, she continued to appreciate the lanterns in front of her.
After seeing the face of the woman in green, Li Ke was shocked and shouted "Axiang" and squeezed through the crowd to the woman in green.
When the woman in green saw someone calling, she suddenly turned around and saw a man in black, fourteen or fifteen years old, with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes, appearing in front of her.
She was also shocked and couldn't help but take a few steps back, "Young master, have you seen the wrong person?"
My name is not A Xiang."
When Li Ke looked closely at the brightly lit place, he found that the figure of the woman in green looked similar to A Xiang. Both of them were light in shape; their faces were also a bit similar, both of them had red lips and bright teeth on the outside.
But this woman is more elegant and less delicate than Axiang.
"Sorry, it's Ben, I've seen the wrong person."
Li Ke said a little disappointed when he knew that the woman in green in front of him was not A Xiang.
"It's okay, the young master doesn't have to mind."
The woman in green also whispered indifferently, and at this time Lan'er and Chen Qi rushed to Li Ke.
"Young master, are you okay?"
Lan'er was clever and changed her words.
"I looked for him for thousands of times, but when I looked back, the man was in the dim light."
Li Ke sighed and looked at Lan'er, "I'm fine!"
Then, he smiled slightly and expressed his affirmation of her adaptability.
The maid in pink next to the woman in green also asked with concern, "Miss, are you okay?"
Then, he glared at Li Ke and said, "Would you like to see the wrong person if you are brightly lit in such a place?"
The meaning is very obvious, that is, Li Ke has a purpose.
Lan'er was not willing to be outdone and fought back, "What's wrong with seeing it?
Are we here to guess riddles?”
"Guess riddles?"
The maid in pink said arrogantly, "You three know that you are not well-educated, and you can still guess riddles when you speak big?
Do you think your family made the riddles, you can guess it just by saying a guess?"
The woman in green was still recalling what Li Ke said just now, and she heard her maid having a quarrel with the woman beside Li Ke. Just as she was about to stop him, she heard Li Ke say, "Since the girl said that, then I'll guess who will be the Guanyin lamp in the South China Sea?"
He really couldn't stand the maid in pink, and he spoke before Lan'er could speak.
The woman in green knew that it was her maid who annoyed the young master in black in front of her. She glared at the maid in pink and apologized to Li Ke, "Xiang'er is rude, the young master hopes to forgive her for her crime."
Li Ke said, "It's okay, we are here to guess riddles."
After saying that, he looked at the puzzle of a lamp closest to him.
The puzzle of the first lamp is: Getting started without a dog barking (small one word).
Li Ke said without thinking, "Ask."
The commentator smiled and said, "Young Master guessed right!"
He took off the lamp and handed it to Lan'er.
The second puzzle of the lamp is: Reunion after a long separation (a name for Chinese medicine).
Li Ke said, "I'm happy at first sight."
The commentator still said with a smile, "Young Master guessed right again!"
