Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

"Aye, these character lanterns are so lifelike and vivid." Qinghe exclaimed.

Baili Ye looked at the lanterns with admiration in his eyes.

“Indeed, the craftsmanship of the people is truly amazing.”

"Why don't we buy Sun Wukong and Fairy Chang'e?" Baili Ye suggested.

"Okay, buy two more and take them back for Haoxuan and the others." Qinghe said with a smile.

The two came to the lantern stall, and Baili Ye said to the boss:

"Shopkeeper, we want this lantern of Monkey King and the fairy Chang'e."

The shopkeeper saw that Baili Ye and Qing He were very impressive, and he immediately said with a smile:

"Sir, Madam, there is a rule for the lanterns in our shop. If you can guess the riddle correctly, you can get the lantern for free. If you buy it directly, the price is not cheap."

Qing He became interested and said to the shopkeeper with a smile:

"Oh? Then why don't you give us a riddle?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "There is a riddle under each lantern in our shop. If you guess it right, you can take the lantern."

"Okay, let's try it." Qinghe said as he walked up to the Wukong Lantern.

The note read: "There is no pair for the character '丽', guess a character."

Qing He thought for a moment, then replied with a smile: "It's the word 'deer'."

The shopkeeper showed appreciation in his eyes and nodded, saying:

"Madam is smart. This lantern belongs to you."

As he said this, he took down the lantern and was about to hand it to her.

Baili Ye took it and said, "Give it to me."

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them with a smile and said:

“You two are a loving couple, so affectionate!

Madam, would you like to guess another lantern riddle?"

Qing He took a look at the Chang'e lantern and said with a smile, "Then I'll have another one."

Qing He looked at the note under the lantern, "A knife, floating on the water, with eyes but no eyebrows. Guess an animal."

Baili Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and said quickly: "It's a fish."

The store owner applauded:

"You two are really amazing. These two lanterns are gifts from our store to you. I wish you two a happy Lantern Festival."

Qinghe and Baili Ye were holding lanterns, full of joy.

“Thank you to the store, and happy holidays.

We also want a few more lanterns. It's not easy for you to do business, so we won't guess the riddles. Please bring these lanterns to us, and I'll give you the silver."

The shopkeeper took the silver and said gratefully, "Thank you, gentlemen."

He looked at the silver in his hand and said to the two men, "Please wait a moment. I will give you the change."

When the shop owner turned around, he found that Qinghe and Baili Ye had already left, and a young girl appeared behind them.

She ran to Qinghe and Bailiye and said excitedly:

"My Lord, cousin, the lanterns you bought are so beautiful! They are actually Monkey King and Chang'e. That's great. I want one too."

Qing He smiled and said, "We got these two by guessing, and we bought the others. You can take whichever one you like and play with it."

"Thank you, Sister Qinghe."

The three of them left together, and the shop owner caught up with them and overheard their conversation.

Qing He smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, you don't need to give me the change. I wish you a prosperous business. Go back and take care of your business!"

The shopkeeper looked at their leaving figures with gratitude, returned to his stall, and recalled that when the three of them were chatting just now, the girl who came later called the young man who guessed the riddle "Prince".

The boss suddenly realized and slapped his head, "Oh, it was Prince Chen and Princess Chen who asked for the lantern riddles. I am so shortsighted that I even accepted money from them."

At this time, the people next to the stall heard the boss's words and suddenly became excited.

"It was Prince Chen and Princess Chen who just left? No wonder they looked so extraordinary."

"Yes, yes, the prince and princess come here to buy lanterns, let's buy a few too."

Everyone rushed to the stalls, vying to choose lanterns.

The boss told everyone the story of the prince and princess guessing riddles and buying lanterns at the stall.

For a while, the store's stall was crowded with people and business was extremely booming.

Of course, Qinghe and Baili Ye knew nothing about this.

They continued to stroll along the bustling streets, the lanterns in their hands particularly dazzling in the night.

"Let's go to the front and see if there's anything fun to do." Qinghe suggested.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." After saying that, Baili Ye took Qinghe's hand.

The few of them continued strolling along the street, surrounded by a bustling crowd of people, filled with laughter and joy.

There are also various small vendors on the street, selling delicious snacks and exquisite handicrafts.

In front of the sugar figure stall, the stall owner skillfully used syrup to draw sugar figures of various shapes, attracting the attention of many children.

In front of the candied haws stall, the strings of red candied haws are mouth-watering.

There are also stalls selling masks, windmills, sachets and other small items. The variety of goods is so dazzling that it is overwhelming.

Not far away, wonderful acrobatics were being performed on a stage.

The acrobats were agile and performed difficult moves, such as flying trapeze and tightrope walking, which drew cheers from the audience.

On the stage next to it, a wonderful opera was being performed. The actors were dressed in gorgeous costumes and their singing was melodious and charming, which made people intoxicated.

My cousin Qin Wenwen was so excited that she couldn't help cheering loudly when she saw the exciting parts along the way.

Time passed by unknowingly and the hour of Xu was about to arrive. They remembered the agreement with their elders and hurried back to Yuelai Restaurant.

Everyone returned to Yuelai Restaurant one after another, and the elders had already been waiting eagerly in the private room.

Seeing them come back, the elders all showed relieved smiles on their faces.

"You are finally back. How was it? Did you have fun?" said my cousin from the Mighty General's Mansion with a smile.

Qin Wen said excitedly: "Madam, this year's Lantern Festival is so wonderful, there are so many delicious and fun things to do. It's so much fun."

Xiaobao and Ruirui were instantly happy when they saw the lantern in Qinghe's hand.

They ran to Qinghe, and Ruirui was the first to say, "Aunt, the lanterns you bought are so beautiful. Ruirui wants one too."

Xiaobao was not to be outdone, he hugged Qinghe's thighs and said, "Auntie, Xiaobao wants one too, Xiaobao wants one too."

Qing He looked at the two cute children, smiled, squatted down, and said gently:

"Okay, I'll give you this lantern. But you have to take good care of it."

The two children excitedly took the lanterns, their eyes full of joy.

Ruirui said happily: "Thank you, auntie. Ruirui will definitely take good care of the lanterns."

Xiaobao also nodded repeatedly and said in a baby voice: "Xiaobao will also take good care of it."

At this moment, everyone was infected by the innocence and cuteness of the children, and warm smiles appeared on their faces.

Xiang looked at this scene and said with emotion: "These two children are so cute. It makes people happy to see them."

Qin Minglang walked up, touched Xiaobao's head, and said:

"Xiaobao, don't be naughty." Xiaobao responded obediently: "I know, Daddy."
