Someone guessed correctly, and there was a burst of cheers.
Then the child held a lantern and smiled like a flower. This atmosphere was quite good.
Pulled by Yue'er to run forward, passing by the rows of lanterns hanging on the verandah, Li Sixu finally saw clearly the rabbit lanterns hanging in front of her.
Sure enough, as Yue'er said, the craftsman made the shape of the rabbit very realistic. When illuminated by the light, the rabbit fur on the lantern was revealed, and it looked exactly like the rabbit that Linglongju's mother often held.
Many people gathered in front of the rabbit lantern. In addition to her third emperor brother, the prince and Mr. Xue, who was boating with him, were also joining in the fun.
"According to the rules of guessing lantern riddles at tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, if you guess nine lantern riddles correctly, you can get this rabbit lantern."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince both want to snatch this rabbit lantern. Just now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince guessed four lantern riddles correctly, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince also guessed four lantern riddles correctly, as well as the last riddle."
The two great gods were fighting for a lantern, which made the little father-in-law who was in charge of the lantern very embarrassed: "I think that whoever guesses the last riddle correctly will get the rabbit lantern. Do your two highnesses have any objection?"
The prince nodded: "I think this is very good!"
"Father, this rule is very fair."
Neither the prince nor the third prince had any objections, and the young father-in-law began to recite the last riddle: "With the moon in the water in your hand, make an idiom."
Li Sixu always felt that Mr. Xue next to the prince looked familiar. She was still quietly looking at the young man in blue to see if he was the one who led her to the boat beside the lake during the lotus appreciation banquet and stood beside her. Prince Xuan was very excited.
Prince Xuan always felt that the answer to the riddle was about to be revealed, but he was still a little short of the mark. When he turned to look at the little princess beside him, he finally guessed the answer to the riddle read by his little father-in-law.
But unfortunately, the prince's gaze swept across the crowd and fell on Li Sixu.
Then, one step ahead of the third prince, he said the answer: "The apple of your eye!"
"The prince is very talented, and the answer to the mystery is the apple of his eye."
The little father-in-law took off the vivid rabbit lantern, thinking that he could finally get rid of these two great gods who were joining in the fun, and secretly sighed.
The prince held the rabbit lantern in his hand amidst the admiration of everyone.
The third prince, who broke his promise in front of her imperial sister and failed to get the rabbit lantern, walked straight towards Yue'er and Li Sixu.
"Third brother didn't get the rabbit lantern!"
"Hey, what a pity. Third brother only almost got the rabbit lantern."
Yue'er sighed regretfully: "Yue'er also said that when the third brother wins the rabbit lantern, he will give the rabbit lantern to sister Sisi."
Her third emperor brother didn't get the rabbit lantern, and he already looked a little lonely!
Li Sixu pointed to the fish lantern beside her thoughtfully: "Linglongju has a pair of little rabbits. That fish lantern is beautiful. Sisi promised Yaoyao to give her a fish lantern."
Hearing that Yuanyuan wanted a fish lantern, the little eunuch following the third prince looked eagerly at the fish lantern.
It's all in sight!
The third prince said warmly: "Third brother will make up for his mistake and win the fish lantern for the imperial sister."
The prince won the rabbit lantern and attracted everyone's attention.
Princess Mu and her sisters also played lantern riddles on the veranda. When they saw the rabbit lantern in the prince's hand, they all gathered around. Princess Chang, who was friends with the prince, jumped towards him happily.
"Brother Prince, would you like to give this rabbit lantern to Chang'er?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have promised this lamp to my little Princess."
Li Sixu was still secretly observing the handsome Mr. Xue next to the prince. The prince passed by the imperial sisters surrounding him and walked straight to Li Sixu carrying a rabbit lantern.
He put the lantern into Li Sixu's hand with a smile: "The lantern that little imperial sister likes, the prince brother has won for you."
Li Sixu could see the flash of disappointment in the eyes of the fourth princess. At this time, Mr. Xue, who was standing next to the prince, flashed his eyes and took out a deer lantern hidden behind him.
"Sister Chang, do you like this deer lantern?"
Mr. Xue said as gentle as jade: "I just won this deer lantern. If Sister Chang likes it, just play with it."
The little deer was illuminated by the lights, and its antlers were still shining brightly. Princess Chang looked happy and nodded towards Mr. Xue shyly.
"Thank you cousin!"
"Sister Chang, you don't have to be polite."
Mr. Xue smiled brightly: "Sister Chang has a smart temperament, which matches this deer lantern very well."
"Cousin Miuzan, Chang'er likes this deer lantern very much."
The blush on Princess Chang's cheeks was obscured by the lights.
She waved the deer lantern towards Li Sixu: "Ten Huangmei's rabbit lantern is beautiful, and so is Chang'er's deer lantern."
While Mr. Xue was talking to the fourth princess, Li Sixu kept looking at him secretly, remembering his posture and steps when he spoke. She was very sure that although he liked to wear blue clothes, his body shape was also the same as the lotus feast. The person who led him to the lake to paint a boat that night was very similar.
But she was sure that the Mr. Xue in front of her was not the man in the blue Confucian shirt in the carriage in the alley near the Imperial Medical Office.
Li Sixu looked away from him and smiled sweetly at Princess Chang: "Sisi also thinks that Sister Fourth Emperor's deer lantern is particularly beautiful."
"Did the Tenth Emperor's Sister take a fancy to the deer lantern in the Emperor's hand?"
Princess Chang smiled coquettishly: "Imperial sister is too greedy. If you get the rabbit lantern from the prince brother, you still have to look at Shu. Chang'er will not trade with you."
Suddenly, the prince thrust a rabbit lantern into her eyes, and received so many envious or jealous looks. Li Sixu almost suspected that the prince was using a lamp to break the balance she had managed to maintain.
However, Mr. Xue who was following him came out with a deer lantern to rescue him.
Also, her imperial sister also has a very good temper.
Li Sixu smiled sweetly at her: "Then Sisi and Huang Jie will play for a while!"
The prince gave Li Sixu the rabbit lantern that he had obtained after passing five levels and killing six generals. Princess Mu also squeezed the sweat for her. It turned out that the little princess was smart enough and thought of a way to change the game.
What a clever little guy!
After winning the rabbit lantern, the third prince won the fish lantern that she said was beautiful, and Prince Xuan also won a vase lantern for her by guessing lantern riddles.
Wei'er and Yun'er pestered the eldest prince to guess lantern riddles and won a small turtle lantern, which he insisted on giving to Li Sixu.
Li Sixu was so disgusted that she was being chased on the veranda by two clingy little guys. She carried a lantern and ran to the lake shore to turn back.
He saw Yu Linwei leading the way, protecting Xuanzong, who was dressed in bright yellow, and walked quickly onto the painted boat by the lake. The man who was being held and protected by his father buried his head in his chest.
They were already quite far apart, and Li Sixu didn't even see clearly who her father was hugging. He only vaguely felt that the ponytail she wore looked familiar.
"Sir, what happened?"
Li Linhuai flashed out from the darkness: "Wu Jieyu fainted from exhaustion. The imperial doctor checked her pulse and treated her, but she was fine. However, His Majesty was still worried about her condition and left the palace banquet early to escort her back to the Hanbing Palace."
