Ming Ruoxie also saw some carved out of melons and fruits, some dug out of bamboo, and some even glued together with broken bowl pieces. They really looked like anything.
Of course, lamps that can be hung in conspicuous places are generally more exquisite and special lamps.
The streets are busy with people and traffic, and there are also many people wearing brand-new clothes and dressing up brightly.
Those wearing masks and those without masks accounted for half each. In addition to competing for lanterns, there were also people competing for masks to see whose mask was more special and eye-catching.
Occasionally, we encounter children who are frightened into tears by masks that are too scary, but at such times, the child¡¯s parents can only hug the child and walk away, coaxing them well, and will not go to the person wearing the mask to quarrel. of.
The girls and ladies all put on their favorite sachets, so the crowd was crowded and the air was filled with various aromas.
Today the curfew has been lifted, and many girls who are usually under strict control at home are able to come out, so there are particularly many people on the street today.
"Tonight's lantern market is also an opportunity for girls and boys to meet. Brave men will ask their sweethearts out on this day, give them a lantern, eat a bunch of fried yuanxiao, and go to Shui Qian Deng to put out lanterns and make wishes together. A person's mind can be determined in this one night."
Sikongji held Ming Ruoxie¡¯s hand, walked with her in the crowd, and talked in her ear.
Although there were many people around, his voice could still reach Ming Ruoxie's ears clearly.
"Isn't this secretly coming out to make a private decision for life?" Isn't it like Valentine's Day?
"So, after the Lantern Festival, there will be happy events and tragedies in the city. Some lovers will eventually get married, but there will also be many heartbroken people who are forced to break off their love and get married separately."
Isn¡¯t this what the world of mortals is like?
Ming Ruoxie listened calmly to what he said. She looked up at him and saw only the mask on his face.
"Then aren't we lucky?"
Sikongji looked down at her and saw her mask too, but her eyes were a little brighter under the mask, "Well, I'm glad I went to Lan Country as a pledge and picked you up."
He also didn¡¯t expect that what he once thought was a humiliating experience was now a joy to look back on. If Empress Chu Lan hadn't forced him to go to Shen Xianling to choose a concubine, how could he have met Ming Ruoxie?
¡°What is this kind of fate if it¡¯s not destiny?
Sikongji thought, holding Ming Ruoxie's hand tighter, and carefully protecting her to prevent her from being squeezed by the crowd.
Even though they were wearing masks, their closeness to each other and their happiness and affection were still very eye-catching in the crowd.
King Lian and the old prince followed them at first, but they became separated while walking.
They were also mentally prepared. In such a crowded street, it was very likely that they would get separated. Fortunately, they had already agreed on a place to gather, so they were not nervous.
The old prince felt a little more energetic at this time. He saw a lot of snacks on the street that he had never seen or tasted before, so he simply ate all the way and didn't have to worry about following them. Doctor Tao was also old and couldn't keep up with the young people, so he simply followed the old prince with Tao Qi and two other guards.
King Lian looked back and saw that there was no problem with them, so he walked forward.
The people around him were slowly passing by in his field of vision and peripheral vision like a scenery. In such bustle, he felt a little like a dream.
Suddenly, someone bumped into his shoulder and passed by him.
A faint fragrance creeps into your nostrils.
King Lian, who was in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses. Before his consciousness could react, his hand had already reacted first and reached out to grab the man's arm.
The hand is made of soft fabric, and the arms wrapped in it are very slender.
The person he caught suddenly turned around, wearing a cinnabar-red mask on his face. The mask was that of a very ferocious beast, somewhat similar to his mask.
The other party was wearing a plain men's suit of crescent white, her hair was tied high, and there was no jewelry, but she could tell at a glance that she was a woman, a slender and tall woman.
King Lian¡¯s eyes fell on her ears. The other party¡¯s ears were small, the earlobes were a little fleshy, and there were obvious ear holes.
It seems that she is not pretending to be a man, maybe it is just because it is convenient to dress as a man?
When King Lian grabbed her arm, she was startled for a moment, then turned to look at him but did not immediately throw away his hand.
The two people's eyes met, and neither of them said a word for a moment. People were coming and going around them, and there was a lot of noise, but they were the only ones who looked at each other quietly and didn't move.
Until several half-year-old children rushed over and chased each other, shouting loudly, "Give me! Give me!" and almost hit the woman. King Lian didn't know why, but he used all his strength. , pulled her close to his arms, and with a wrong step, separated her from the children and protected her.
"Thank you," the woman in her arms finally said, her voice not very delicate, but with a bit of a special charm, "But did you admit the wrong person?"
Why would you drag her for no reason if it wasn't a mistake?
Because she is so close, the fragrance on her body is more obvious.
King Lian's heart tightened slightly, and he took a step back to distance himself from her, but did not let go of his hand, "Are you alone?"
The woman was stunned.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with being alone?¡±
"Me too, shall we go for a walk together?"
ah?
Looking at this man with a tall, elegant figure and a unique temperament, is he so charming? But his voice is very charming, it sounds like a breeze, gentle and has an irresistible magic.
Why does she seem vaguely familiar?
"We don't know each other."
"I want to ask where your sachet came from."
King Lian spoke directly about his purpose. He was not really Meng Lang, and he had never done anything like randomly pulling a woman on the street and wanting to go shopping with her at the lanterns.
This is the first time.
But this scent¡ª¡ª
It lingered in his memory for many years.
He has to find out.
"I don't have a sachet on me." The woman said with some doubts in her tone. She lowered her head and looked at her waist, and King Lotus also followed her gaze. There was indeed no ornament, no jade pendant, or sachet on her bulging waist.
"Is that the incense from the clothes?"
He asked as he continued to move forward with her. The crowd was too crowded and they could not stand still.
The women have no choice, the crowd around them will lead them forward.
"There is no incense on my clothes. I don't have that habit."
So, the answer is almost out.
There is no sachet on her body, no incense on her clothes, and there are no flowers in her hair, so the faint fragrance she smells is her own fragrance.
A woman's body fragrance is quiet and elegant.
It would be too much to ask further.
"So can you let me go?" The woman lowered her head and glanced at his hand holding hers.
She was probably crazy. A strange man dragged her like this, but she didn't feel disgusted or shake him off. She actually followed him down the street. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
