Chapter 190 Visiting the Lantern Festival
On the second day of the Spring Festival, the deserted streets of Yongjing became bustling again.
It was even noisier than usual.
Celebrating the New Year and receiving lucky money. After the New Year, children in every household will receive blessings and lucky money from their elders.
Therefore, there were a lot of merchants in Yongjing on this day.
The streets were almost packed.
Street vendors carrying sugar puppets walked through the streets, and children in new clothes sang new songs.
People who have been busy all year round relax on this day and go shopping in groups of three or five. At the beginning of the new year, everyone's face is filled with happy and joyful smiles.
The people live and work in peace and order.
Emperor Yong has not yet announced the Queen's death.
Therefore, the people of Kyoto had no idea what kind of a thrilling abdication incident the Yong Dynasty had experienced yesterday, and they had no idea that on this joyous and festive day, Generals Ye Zuan and Ye Zulong were leading the Ye family army and secretly clearing out the remnants of the Langya Wang family inside and outside the palace.
After Queen Wang died yesterday, the core members of Wang’s party have been arrested, but there are still some side branches and diehards who need to be eliminated.
So on this day, unlike the joy and celebration of the people in Kyoto, all the officials in Kyoto closed their doors, shivered and hid at home, not daring to go out.
Even Prince Li became much more obedient.
On this day, half of the court officials in Kyoto were missing.
But these have nothing to do with Yan Qing.
She and Yan Xun went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion early this morning to visit her mother.
Ye Xiruo has been in the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Gu Huaizhou was well taken care of, and with Wu Mang around, although he was still unconscious, he looked alright.
"Mr. Wu, how is my mother's health?"
After visiting her mother, Yan Qing found Wu Mang and asked, "The King of Chu has promised to give me the secret medicine. Will you be able to save my mother when the time comes?"
Wu Mang was sitting under the eaves, holding a jar of wine. He took a sip and smacked his lips as he said, "Yes! As long as we get the secret medicine, Madam will definitely wake up."
Yan Qing immediately felt relieved.
She glanced behind her, and Qingluan immediately had ten jars of fine wine brought over. Yan Qing said, "Thank you very much, sir, when the time comes."
When Wu Mang saw the ten jars of wine, his eyes widened.
"Okay, okay, you're welcome."
Yan Qing asked someone to put down the wine and left.
She still believed in Wu Mang's medical skills. Since Wu Mang was confident that he could save her mother, he must be sure of it.
Now we just have to wait for Chu Tianhe to return to Western Zhou.
As soon as the secret medicine arrives, mother will wake up.
Thinking of this, the biggest stone in Yan Qing's heart finally fell.
In the evening, Gu Huaizhou asked Yan Qing to go to the lantern festival.
The two of them had already been granted marriage by Emperor Yong, and now the future was clear, so Yan Qing did not refuse.
After dinner, Yan Qing went out accompanied by Qingluan.
During the New Year holidays, the nights in Yongjing City are particularly lively, with lantern festivals, archery, pitching pots... and all kinds of entertainment.
Many young lovers go out on dates at night.
Yan Qing had been here with Lu Qiaonan before, so she was not very enthusiastic about these activities.
But Gu Huaizhou was in high spirits.
She did as he wished.
On the stone bridge, a man in a blue shirt stood there, the moonlight cast a soft light behind him, the water was shimmering under the bridge, and the beauty on the bridge was like the moon.
Yan Qing smiled slightly and walked forward.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"In a moment."
The man suddenly stretched out his hand, and an exquisite little rabbit lantern appeared in his hand. He handed it to Yan Qing: "This is for you."
Yan Qing smiled and said, "I didn't expect the Fourth Prince to have such a hobby?"
Gu Huaizhou immediately turned his face away.
After a while, he whispered, "If others can do it, I can do it too."
In his previous life, he missed Qingqing and could only watch her being snatched away by Lu Qiaonan. He didn't even have the chance to be nice to her.
He will definitely make amends in this life.
What's the point of making all the peonies in the city bloom overnight? As long as Qingqing likes, he can make the peonies disappear from this world forever!
He can conquer vast territories and chop off the heads of all his enemies and send them to Qingqing. Can Lu Qiaonan do it?
He can do better than Lu Qiaonan!
Yan Qing had no idea that the man was struggling with a dead person in his heart.
She pointed to a pitching pot game not far away and said, "Shall we go take a look?"
"it is good."
The man took her hand and blended into the crowd.
Lai Fu and Qing Luan were tactful enough not to go forward to disturb them, but just followed from a distance.
The pitching pot area was full of people.
When Gu Huaizhou and Yan Qing stepped forward, a player who was playing pot-tossing just shook his head and stepped back.
When the boss saw them, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, would you like to try? If you win, there will be a prize."
Yan Qing glanced at the prizes.
As in previous years, there are sachets, jade rings, and other small items.
Yan Qing was about to shake his head when Gu Huaizhou said, "I'll do it!"
"okay!"
The boss immediately handed over the arrows: "Sir, twenty copper coins for ten arrows."
Lai Fu stepped forward to pay.
Gu Huaizhou weighed the arrow with curiosity.
He had used this arrow to shoot targets and kill people, but he had never used it to play this kind of game.
but--
The man's eyes suddenly became cold.
He had to experience everything that Lu Qiaonan and Qingqing had experienced.
He wanted to completely erase the dead man from Qingqing's heart, so that whenever Qingqing saw anyone or anything in the future, she would think of him.
Thinking of this, the man picked up the arrow and prepared to start tossing the pot, but a voice interrupted: "I... I want to throw too!"
Everyone looked back and saw a handsome and elegant man with a strong aura walking in.
Seeing Chu Tianhe, Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, then bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Chu..."
Chu Tianhe personally lifted her up and looked at Yan Qing with a pleasant expression: "Qingqing, if you have set your sights on any reward, I will win it for you."
Gu Huaizhou was very impatient.
He reached out and pulled Yan Qing over, keeping her at a distance from Chu Tianhe, and then said coldly, "No need, we have hands."
Chu Tianhe ignored him completely.
He turned to look at his boss and said with a smile, "Can I invest?"
The boss was taken aback by his elegant appearance and nodded blankly: "Yes, yes, there is also a pot."
Chu Tianhe: "Barro, give me money!"
Barlow stepped forward and handed the boss a gold ingot.
The boss was shocked and was about to say he had no change when Barlow said in a muffled voice, "No need to change. Just bring me all the arrows you have."
The boss smiled brightly: "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you right away!"
With this ingot of gold, not to mention all the arrows, even this stall can be given to this noble man.
The boss immediately brought over all the arrows on the stall.
Gu Huaizhou looked at the one in his hand, then at the bundle in his boss's arms. He squinted his eyes and said, "Laifu!"
Lai Fu immediately stepped forward and threw out a gold ingot: "Our young master also wants this arrow!"
The boss was embarrassed: "This..."
Both sides are important people, we can't afford to offend them.
Chu Tianhe glanced at Gu Huaizhou and said, "Half each."
Finally, all the arrows on the boss' stall were collected and divided into two groups, with Gu Huaizhou and Chu Tianhe each getting twenty arrows.
Two men stood in front holding arrows.
Everyone thought they would see an exciting match.
Including Yan Qing.
