Shaohua is Junqing

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, also known as the Shangyuan Festival. On this day, there will be a series of folk activities such as watching lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, eating rice dumplings, and setting off fireworks. It is so lively!

Ever since Yan Haiyun was invited by Siyu to eat hotpot and play chess, he has been thinking about her and wanted to find an opportunity to see her again. The Lantern Festival is a good opportunity.

Prince Chen's Palace.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Xiaoyan is here to visit."

"Did something happen?"

"Seeking to see the princess."

"Just take him directly to Qingfangyuan."

"Yes."

Zheng Fu brought Yan Haiyun to the gate of Qingfangyuan.

"Mr. Xiaoyan, please wait a moment. I will go and report first."

"Good work."

Zheng Fu met Caidie after entering the door.

"Uncle Fu is here, what's the matter?"

"Young Master Xiaoyan has come to pay his respects to the princess, and this old servant has come to report this to you."

"Please come in, Mr. Xiaoyan, and wait in the side hall for a while. I will go and tell the princess."

In the warm room, Siyu was sitting on the bed wrapped in a quilt, reading a book.

"Princess, Master Xiaoyan is here and wants to see you."

"What about others?"

"In the side hall."

"Okay, help me change."

After changing her clothes, Siyu followed Caidie to the side hall.

"Young Master Yan."

"The county lord."

"Cai Die, go get a hand warmer."

Caidie responded and was about to leave, but Yan Haiyun stopped her, "Miss Caidie, please don't bother me. I'm not cold. I came here because I want to say a few words to the princess."

"You said."

Yan Haiyun rubbed his hands nervously, "Well... today is the Lantern Festival, we can enjoy the lanterns, guess lantern riddles, and watch the fireworks, so... so I want to invite the princess to enjoy the lanterns and fireworks together, I wonder if the princess would be willing to come."

"When I was a kid, I loved the Lantern Festival the most. But when I grew up, there were no lanterns to enjoy and fireworks to watch. I always felt it was a pity."

"Then I will take you to enjoy the lanterns and fireworks, and I guarantee that you will feel the joy of childhood."

"Okay!"

When Yan Haiyun heard Siyu agreed, he was so happy that he almost jumped up from the stool.

"Then I will come to pick up the princess after dinner."

"Ok, I will wait for you."

When Yan Haiyun came to Prince Chen's Mansion, he was still in a nervous mood, with a look of sadness on his face, but when he came out, he was in high spirits.

After Yan Haiyun left, Beitang Mo Ran also came to Qingfang Garden.

"Siyu."

"Your Majesty, please come in."

"Come with me tonight to enjoy the lanterns and fireworks."

"What time are we going? I want to see if I have time."

"Why? Do you have a date?"

In fact, with Beitang Mo Ran's intelligence and insight, he had already figured out what Yan Haiyun wanted to do when he came to find Si Yu, but he didn't say it clearly, and he didn't want to restrict her freedom.

"Well, Master Xiaoyan also invited me to enjoy the lanterns and fireworks, and I have already agreed."

"When are you leaving?"

"He said he would pick me up after dinner, probably around the hour of Xu."

"Okay, then you go first, and you can accompany me later."

"it is good."

The Lantern Festival is the busiest time of the year. The entire lantern market is filled with colorful and various lanterns, peony lanterns, lotus lanterns, crabapple lanterns... rabbit lanterns, puppy lanterns... it's dazzling.

Siyu and Yan Haiyun walked side by side in the sea of ​​people and lights, followed by Caidie, Xiaoma and Yan Haiyun's servant.

“These lights are so beautiful.”

"Whichever one you like, I'll buy it for you."

"There are so many that my eyes are dazzled."

"How about this one?" Yan Haiyun took a crabapple lantern from a shelf.

"This is the crabapple flower, which is my favorite."

When Yan Haiyun heard that Siyu liked it very much, he was very happy and quickly took out a few copper coins and gave them to the stall owner.

"Which one do you like?" Siyu asked.

"I'll take this one." Yan Haiyun said as he took a lotus lantern.

"Caidie, Xiaoma, Xiaochuan, each of you pick a lantern. We will go to the moat to release lanterns and make a wish later."

Caidie picked a peony lantern, while Xiaoma and Xiaochuan both picked round lanterns.

Several people came to the moat holding their lanterns. At this time, quite a few people had already gathered there.

Siyu gently put the lantern into the river, then closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and silently made a wish in her heart. Yan Haiyun, Caidie and others did the same, putting their lanterns into the river and making a wish.
