Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

On the other side, Su Yu and his group had already arrived in the capital. Except for the gatekeeper Old Man Wang and the kitchen lady Fang who stayed at home, the rest of the family, young and old, came out to play together.

Even though night had not yet fallen, the streets were already bustling with people walking everywhere.

Su Yu looked at the streets on both sides. Merchants had hung up lanterns one after another. For a moment, the streets looked like a galaxy filled with starlight, very dazzling and eye-catching.

Su Yu thought to himself, it’s worthy of being Shengjing, it’s really prosperous.

Su Yu, his sister Su Wanwan and other young people walked in front, while Su's mother, the empress dowager and others walked slowly behind, accompanied by the secret guard Yue Ren.

My younger sister Su Wanwan was wearing a pink embroidered dress today. Her ink-black hair was casually tied into a bun, with a finely crafted plum blossom hairpin on her head and plum blossom tassel earrings of the same color on her ears. She looked like a fairy as the hair fluttered in the wind.

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes looked around curiously as she kept moving among the crowd.

Whenever she saw a stall that interested her, she would rush over to take a look. At this time, she ran to another stall and said, "Brother, look at this little clay figure, it's so cute. I want to make one for myself, my brother, my mother, Mrs. Jiang, Aunt Qinxin, etc."

After hearing her words, Su Yu smiled and shook his head, "Then pinch all the family members."

Su Wanwan became even happier after hearing what her brother said. She laughed heartily and said to the old man who was making clay figures at the stall: "Uncle, please help us make them."

"Okay, miss," the old man at the stall started pinching Su Wanwan's face.

The maids and servants who came with them also stood in front of the stall with anticipation on their faces. They also wanted to see what the clay figures that looked like themselves looked like.

Su Yu watched the old man flipping the clay with his fingers, and soon a clay figure that looked like his sister was formed. Su Yu couldn't help but praise him: "Old man, you have great craftsmanship."

The old man laughed and said, "Hahaha, sir, I have been making clay figures all my life."

Su's mother behind her looked at her children in front of her and said, "Mrs. Jiang, please take a closer look and see if there is anything you like. I will buy it for you."

The Queen Mother said happily: "Okay, then I'll let you spend the money." She hadn't seen such a grand occasion for a long time and was very happy in her heart.

But they didn't notice that someone was already staring at them not far away.

This person was none other than Chen Zhenglin, the second son of the Minister of Revenue. He looked at Su Wanwan with a sweet smile and asked, "Is it her?"

He whispered to his personal servant, "Tie up the woman in pink for me."

"Yes, sir."

"Remember to be careful and don't get discovered."

When the servant Lu'er heard this, a wicked smile appeared on his lips, "Don't worry, sir, this is not the first time we have done this."

He waved his hand, and several servants followed him, waiting for the opportunity to act.

.........

As night fell, on the other side, Qin Yuehua was walking on the street with her brother Qin Wenyan. Even in the dim lights, their beautiful faces could not be hidden.

As more and more people walked on the road, Qin Wenyan saw a crowded place ahead with a lot of noise. He looked over there curiously and said, "Sister, let's go over and take a look."

Qin Yuehua looked at her brother and said "Okay" lovingly.

The two of them squeezed in through the gaps in the crowd, and the maids and servants also hurriedly squeezed in with them.

Qin Yuehua took a look and found that it was an archery competition. The winner could get the most beautiful lantern on the stall.

Qin Yuehua asked her brother Qin Wenyan with a smile on her face, "Do you want to play?"

Qin Wenyan frowned slightly and said in embarrassment: "Sister, my brother doesn't know how to shoot arrows yet..."

Seeing her brother like this, Qin Yuehua suddenly realized and said: "That's right, sister forgot, you haven't started to learn this yet. Sister can do it. Although the technique may not be the best, it's worth a try. Do you want that lantern?"

Qin Wenyan looked in the direction her sister pointed, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded excitedly and said, "Yeah, I want the lantern with the little rabbit painted on it.

Seeing her brother's cute look, Qin Yuehua smiled and said, "Okay, sister will try her best to help you get it."

At this moment, the maid Tingyu cleverly squeezed over and said loudly: "Boss, our young lady also wants to participate in this competition."

Upon hearing this, a chubby shopkeeper at the stall immediately smiled happily, hurriedly handed a bow and arrow to the maid Tingyu, and greeted her enthusiastically: "Come, come, come this way, young lady."

Tingyu handed the bow and arrow to his young lady.

When the people heard this, they turned around curiously. They also wanted to know which woman would come to participate in the archery competition.

Amidst the bustling crowd, noisy voices rose and fell, but that special sentence instantly attracted Chen Manli's attention.

She subconsciously turned her head, her eyes looking through the crowd, and saw a figure in white clothes at a glance. It was Qin Yuehua.

Her clothes today were simple and elegant, without too many gorgeous decorations or complicated patterns, but when she wore them, they fit her perfectly as if they were tailor-made.

Her innate noble temperament and elegant demeanor seem to be natural, which makes people look at her sideways. Her every gesture shows the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

Looking at the outstanding Qin Yuehua, Chen Manli couldn't help but feel a strong sense of jealousy in her heart.

However, when she saw the handsome and elegant Prince Zhou standing beside her, this jealousy was quickly replaced by an irrepressible pride.

Because she could clearly feel that the noble Prince Zhou had a special affection for her. From time to time, Prince Zhou would find various excuses to invite her out for a trip, and today he specially invited her to come and watch the lanterns.

At this moment, Chen Manli grabbed the corner of the man's sleeve and said in a delicate voice: "Prince, I really like the largest lantern. I wonder if you are willing to help me fulfill this little wish?" After she said that, her beautiful eyes were full of anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhou lowered his head to look at the woman in front of him. He saw that she had a pretty face, and besides being lively and smart, she also had a hint of adorable and innocent look.

This look made his heart move slightly, and an inexplicable sense of joy arose spontaneously. So, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a doting smile, and he said softly: "Okay, for Man'er, no matter what, this prince is willing to do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant beside him hurried forward and signed up his master for the archery competition. After a while, Prince Zhou had a bow and arrow in his hand.

At the same time, there were a total of ten people participating. The shopkeeper saw that everyone was in place and announced, "There are ten arrows in the competition. The one who hits the most bull's eyes will be the winner and will get the biggest lantern of the day. The remaining two or three people will get a small lantern. The competition officially begins."

Then the arrows whizzed, one after another, cutting through the sky. Soon, the winner was decided. There was no doubt that the first place went to Prince Zhou. After all, he was a child of a noble family who grew up in the military camp. His archery skills were not comparable to those of ordinary people in the capital and ordinary children of noble families.

The fat shopkeeper took down the largest lantern and handed it to Prince Zhou respectfully, "Sir, this is the lantern you won today, please keep it."

Prince Zhou took the lantern and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

He handed the lamp to the woman in front of him with tenderness in his eyes. Chen Manli took it shyly, and the look she gave Zhou Shizi became more affectionate and ambiguous.

The women who were watching the excitement around them all looked at the two people who were such a perfect match and had good looks with envy. These envious looks and envious words from the people around them made Chen Manli feel even more proud.

Qin Yuehua, who was participating in the competition not far away, finally saw that the first place winner was Prince Zhou Yao. And who was the person next to him? Wasn't that the daughter of the Minister of Revenue?

Seeing the two of them flirting with each other and looking so affectionate, she thought, no wonder Prince Zhou came to her to cancel the engagement that day. It turned out that he had found a girl he liked, and he rejected her invitation today just for this girl.

Qin Yuehua thought, let's post the invitation again tomorrow. She didn't want to meet them in such an awkward situation, and wanted to save some face for both of them. But while she thought so, others might not think so.

Chen Manli suggested: "Prince, let's go over there," and then she brought Prince Zhou towards Qin Yuehua.

When passing by Qin Yuehua, she deliberately said loudly: "Sister Qin, what a coincidence, you are also here to see the lanterns."

Qin Yuehua had no choice but to turn around and face the two of them. She bowed to Prince Zhou, "Prince Zhou," and nodded slightly to Chen Manli, "Miss Chen."

Prince Zhou looked at Qin Yuehua, who was dignified and elegant with extraordinary temperament, with a hint of embarrassment on his face. After all, he had directly rejected her invitation today and brought other women to the Lantern Festival.

So he said: "Miss Qin, come and see the lantern festival too."

Qin Yuehua didn't want to argue with them any more, so she said: "Prince, I still want to go shopping over there, so I'll take my leave first."

At this moment, the fat shopkeeper hurriedly called Qin Yuehua and handed her a little rabbit lantern, "Miss, you forgot your lantern. This is the reward for third place."

Qin Yuehua took it with a smile, handed the lantern to her brother Qin Wenyan, and left with her maids and servants.

Chen Manli looked at Qin Yuehua's back as she left decisively. She looked at Master Zhou and said, "Master, did Sister Qin misunderstand something? I feel like Sister Qin doesn't like me very much. Is it because I stole this big lantern?"

When Prince Zhou Yao heard this, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes. This Miss Qin was so jealous. Fortunately, he didn't want to marry into the Qin family. Otherwise, if he took a concubine in the future, how could there be peace in the mansion with her like this?
