Chapter 24: On the Ice Lantern Festival

After Xiao Yiran left, my life became boring again. Xiao Yichen and Luo Zixuan didn't come to see me either. My escape plan couldn't be implemented and I felt a bit decadent! I had no choice but to follow Platycodon in order to prevent myself from being so bored.

I was learning to embroider, but I couldn't get the shape out of it. Although I wasn't badly pierced, I always did one thing, and it was something I wasn't interested in. It drove me crazy. I threw away the embroidered handkerchief in my hand in anger.

go out.

"Ouch" Kikyo walked in from outside and covered her head. I looked at her embarrassedly.

"Feng Qing, why are you using the embroidered handkerchief to vent your anger? You're going to smash my head out." This girl has been hanging out with me for a long time, and sometimes her tone of voice sounds a bit like mine. I

She stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm sorry for Kikyo! I'm in a very upset mood." I'm sure I'm being watched like a prisoner. How can I not be upset?

"I think you are bored! Today is the Ice Lantern Festival, go and talk to the prince, he will definitely take you there." My eyes lit up when I heard this. As long as I can get out of this house, it will be much easier to escape, hehe

!

"Really, then I'll go find Xiao Yifeng now, where is he!" I asked Kikyo as I walked out the door.

"Slow down, don't fall. Your Majesty is in Lanyin Garden." Kikyo's smiling voice came from behind.

As soon as I entered Lanyin Garden, I started shouting, "Xiao Yifeng, come out, I have something to talk to you about." Suddenly a figure stood in front of me. "Miss Yun, the prince is resting. Please come back later, Miss Yun." I stopped.

At first glance, she is a woman, but judging from her speed just now, she must be someone who knows martial arts. Her appearance is not particularly outstanding, and her skin is darker than that of Platycodon grandiflorum. She must have been exposed to the sun for many years!

I ignored her and continued walking inside. It was already noon now, and the Ice Lantern Festival was in the evening. If I didn't get him to agree to take me there, there would be nothing to sing in the evening. She looked a little unhappy when she saw that I was ignoring her.

When I was about to speak, a male voice said, "Zhulan, let her in." After hearing this, the man named Zhulan stopped trying to stop me.

When I entered the room, I saw Xiao Yifeng sitting at the table with a book in his hand. I thought to myself: The little guy actually lied to me and said he was resting! I didn't intend to beat around the bush and just told the purpose of my visit."

Xiao Yifeng, I heard from Platycodon, is there an Ice Lantern Festival tonight? Can you take me to see it?" After saying that, I showed a pitiful expression.

"Do you really want to see it? Or do you want to take advantage of the street to escape... Well" his eyes narrowed dangerously.

I suddenly thought, "You changed your profession to fortune telling, you even know what I am thinking." I quickly waved my hand, "No, I just want to see it, I have never seen what the Ice Lantern Festival is like? So I am curious.

Why don't you take me to take a look?" As I said that, I ran over and pulled his sleeves, even using coquettish tactics. I strongly despised myself in my heart, Bai Xuelin, you are worthless.

He looked at my actions, his eyes suddenly became very gentle, and he took my little hand, "You really just want to see the ice lanterns, don't you want to find an excuse to run out?" For my escape plan, I clicked again without any hope.

nod.

"Okay! I'll take you to see the ice lanterns, but you have to stay with me for a moment. If you can't do that, I won't take you there." He hugged me and rubbed my hair with his chin. I immediately raised my left hand, "I promise.

, I must stay by your side and never leave your sight."

He chuckled and grabbed my hand, put it to his lips and kissed it, "Remember what you said." I was shocked.

I was tied to Xiao Yifeng all afternoon. He asked me to stay with him while he was reading. I wanted to go back to Yousiyuan, but he threatened me with the excuse of not taking me out. How disgusting! It finally got dark, and I was excited.

I can't even sit still. I didn't realize that I have an active element before! In modern times, I have always been a very quiet person. As long as I have a computer, I can not go out for several months!

I didn't even eat dinner, so I dragged Xiao Yifeng to go to the street. He looked at me doubtfully, "I really doubt your purpose of going out?" When he said this, I felt a little guilty, so

I had no choice but to be calm. Before going out, I thought that it was inconvenient to wear women's clothing. In my impression, this kind of festival in ancient times was similar to a blind date, so I asked Xiao Yifeng to borrow a set of men's clothes for me to wear. So now a figure appeared in the mirror.

Wearing a purple robe, he is a handsome young man with fine features. When I stood in front of Xiao Yifeng dressed like this, he also looked at me in surprise... Huh! This lady is the ever-changing King Kong... Haha!

This was my first time walking on the street since ancient times, and I was shocked as soon as I walked on the street.

I have never seen ice lanterns in modern times, but I have seen concerts and seen huge crowds of people, but I was still shocked by the lively scene in front of me. It turns out that ancient festivals can be so lively! There are people everywhere dressed as if they are celebrating the New Year.

Men and women danced lightly in their skirts, smiling brightly. There were all kinds of beautiful ice lanterns everywhere, in various shapes. The fluorescence of the ice lanterns was like the bright gems on the ground and the stars in the sky. The fireworks were shining one after another.

The moonlight shines in the sky, which is a grand scene in the world.

The ice lanterns under the moonlight were so colorful that I was overwhelmed by them. There were carved Eight Immortals, Guanyin, dragon lanterns, lion lanterns, peacock lanterns, flower lanterns, cabbage lanterns, lotus lanterns, tower lanterns, cylindrical lanterns, square lanterns, etc. Among them was an ice lantern.

There are five or six feet of ice carved into the longevity star lantern, with double torches burning in it. It looks like a crystal figure. This is rare.

"Exquisite and translucent, it emits light, and a heart is completely clear. Who can resemble the hollowed-out immortals and Buddhas, and the beauties and lions are carved from snow." I really admire those who make these ice lanterns. I have seen an introduction to ice lanterns before, saying that they are because of poor people.

During the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival night, if you can't afford lanterns and are unwilling to be lonely, you have to make some ice lanterns and put them in front of your door, or iron holes and string them for children to carry and play with to increase the festive atmosphere.

Because there was no such elaborate production at that time, it could not enter the elegant hall. During the Kangxi period, the term "ice lantern" officially appeared. During the Qianlong and Jiaqing reigns, Sichuan poet Zhang Wentao wrote a poem titled "Ice Lantern"

"Ice Lamp", the poem goes: "The night is hot and cool, the ice lantern spits out a long flame. It shines to relieve the heat, and the chisel leaks cold light. The shadow is wet and the star sinks into the water, and the spirit is clear from the frost in the moon. Three winters are enough for literature and history, and the bottom is used to explore the firefly sac."

"Since then, ice lanterns began to appear in many places, and then became an entertainment event in winter.

Ice lanterns are different from ordinary works of art. They become fixed shapes after completion. The artistic beauty of ice lanterns lies in the surprises they give people every year. Therefore, ice lanterns have a beautiful name - "A fairy tale that never repeats". It leads people in colorful

In the dream, I recall the many joys of life.

At this time, how could I remember what I promised Xiao Yifeng? I looked here and there like a curious baby. Xiao Yifeng could only follow me closely, and the two guards he led also followed closely behind the master.

"Xiao Yifeng, look at that lantern. It's so beautiful." I pointed to an ice lantern that was somewhat similar to a lily. I looked back at Xiao Yifeng. He looked at me with eyes full of endearment.

"If you like it, how about we buy this lamp back?" He touched my nose that was blown red by the wind.

"No, the weather has gotten warmer now. It won't take long for it to melt when I buy it back. Why not put it here for tourists to enjoy? Good things are meant to be shared by everyone!"

While I was staring at the lamp in a daze, suddenly a foreign object flew towards me and hit me on the head.

"Damn, who plotted against me?" I covered my head and wailed. Xiao Yifeng hurriedly came over to look at my head. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he bent down to pick up the unknown object that hit me. He picked it up and handed it to me.

, both of us were stunned - it was a small silk flower.

"Who hit me on the head with a flower?" I turned the flower over and over, but I didn't see anything special.

"You are such a little fool" Xiao Yifeng's laughter came from beside him.

"What did you say? You dare to call me stupid?" I was furious and stared at him with my eyes. "Where am I stupid?"

He chuckled and pulled me over, "You are stupid if you call me stupid. The custom of the Ice Lantern Festival is that men and women who fall in love can use silk flowers to express their love. If you accept the flowers, it means that you accept the other person's love."

"I didn't expect that my Feng'er would be shown love even when dressed as a man." He looked at me and smiled evilly.

I was startled when I looked at the silk flower in my hand, and suddenly smiled and said, "That's my aunt... the young master, charming, suitable for both men and women. What do you think? You saw that I received the flowers but you didn't receive them yourself, so you are jealous."

Me, right?"

"Hey, I wonder which girl sent this to me?"

He suddenly pulled me over and whispered in my ear, "I have known for a long time that my beauty is hard to drive away, fragrant and beautiful. So I want to hide you even more." After saying this, he deliberately licked me.

My whole body trembled, and my face suddenly felt like fire. I pushed him away quickly, but he didn't pay attention to his appearance. We were both dressed in men's clothing now.

In order to break the embarrassment, I deliberately looked away and happened to see someone eating. I remembered that I hadn't eaten yet tonight, so I took his hand and said, "Xiao Yifeng, let's go get something to eat! I'm hungry."

He looked at the hand I was holding, his lips curled up slightly, and he smiled lightly.
