Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 172: Lantern Festival 1

Yunxi bought a little rabbit dough figurine and happily went between other stalls.

Sometimes I stop to admire the exquisite trinkets, and sometimes I bargain with the stall owners.

Occasionally, she would tease Ying Tianchen in a playful manner, and then they would smile at each other.

Yun Yan had already consciously walked to the back with Yu Fengfeng.

"Guard Yu, do you think we shouldn't follow today?"

Yu Fengfeng shook his head, "You are the one who shouldn't follow. I am the guard, so I must follow to protect the prince."

"Hey, well, I came along to protect my little sister, so I should come as well."

The two people in the front were being affectionate with each other, while the two people in the back were arguing and talking to each other.

It's a different kind of harmony.

The few of them walked and stopped, and soon Yunxiu was attracted by a stall selling river lanterns.

"Look, the river lanterns are so beautiful."

Yun Xi stared at the colorful river lanterns, her eyes sparkling.

"Girl, do you want to buy a river lantern? If you buy a river lantern, you can go to Yushui Lake to make a wish and release the river lantern."

Seeing that Yunxi liked it, the stall owner started shouting at her.

Yun Xi originally wanted to say that she just wanted to take a look, but when she heard the stall owner say that she could make a wish and release river lanterns, she immediately became interested again.

She looked at Ying Tianchen with burning eyes, "Do you want to release river lanterns?"

Ying Tianchen knew she wanted to go without asking, so how could he refuse? "Okay."

So, the two of them began to choose river lanterns with great interest.

Yun Xi seemed to have difficulty making choices. She was dazzled by the various beautiful flower-shaped river lanterns.

I think this one is nice-looking, and I think that one is beautiful.

Ying Tianchen saw that she was having trouble making a decision, so he turned around and shouted, "Feng Feng, I want one lantern of each flower shape."

"Yes, master."

Ying Tianchen took Yun Xi's hand and said, "Let's go to Yushui Lake. Let Guard Yu take the lanterns over."

After holding hands once, this time seemed much more natural.

However, only Ying Tianchen himself knew that at this moment his heart was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Yun Xi didn't care that much.

In modern times, it is very common for couples to hold hands.

In public, there were many people hugging and kissing each other, not to mention holding hands.

Now she and Ying Tianchen are engaged, and she is not averse to holding hands. On the contrary, she feels secretly happy in her heart.

Yu Shui Lake is not in the city, but a long river on the southern outskirts of the city.

Therefore, they had to take a carriage to get there. Yun Xi didn't know this, she thought Yushui Lake was in the city.

Seeing Ying Tianchen pulling her into the carriage, she asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to Yushui Lake? Do we still need to take a carriage? Is it far?"

Ying Tianchen sat down next to her, holding her hand and not letting go.

"Not far, just in the southern suburbs. We go out of the south city gate and walk another two miles to get there."

"You still need to leave the city? What if the city gate is closed when you come back?"

Ying Tianchen explained, "During festivals, the gates in the south of the city are closed later, and will only be closed at midnight."

So that's how it is. Normally the city gates are closed at the hour of Xu.

"And even if the city gates are closed, don't be afraid. Don't forget who I am. With the token of the Southern Palace, the city gates can be opened at any time."

Yun Xi suddenly realized, "Yes, you are here. Then I can play as much as I want and as long as I want."

Before the two of them could say a few words, the carriage left the city and soon arrived at Yu Shui Lake.

The river is very wide, and I don’t know if it’s because of the hazy night, but it seems like there’s no end in sight.

At this time, many people had gathered by the lake, all of whom came here to make wishes and release lanterns.

There are many boats for tourists to play on the lakeside and in the middle of the lake.

Ying Tianchen ordered, "Go rent a boat and let's go to the center of the lake to release river lanterns."

Yu Fengfeng took the order and went to find an empty ship.

Yun Yan didn't want to be a light bulb here, so he hurriedly said, "I'll go with him to find a boat."

However, the two men went to look for a boat and did not come back for a long time.

Yun Xi discussed with Ying Tianchen, "Should we go look for them?"
