Jiang Ningwan was slightly stunned and felt a little embarrassed.

"Then I'll change it."

Just as she was about to turn around and go back to her room, Qin Shuangchi quickly stepped forward and held her hand, "No need to change, just let them envy me."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of love.

"The streets are already very busy. Let's go quickly, otherwise you won't be able to get a good seat later." Qin Shuangchi pulled her up and ran out.

As she ran, the beads on her body made a crisp sound, and were as bright as a red butterfly.

"Aren't you the King of Chu? Can't you reserve a seat in advance?"

Qin Shuangchi smiled and said, "On the day of the Lantern Festival, everyone is equal, there is no distinction between high and low status, and everyone can have fun."

"So the King of Chu also doesn't receive any special treatment."

The two ran out of the Prince Chu's Mansion and onto the street. There were a lot of people there, and the street was full of all kinds of lanterns. Even the night sky was filled with many Kongming lanterns, lighting up the night sky like stars.

There are many more stalls on the streets than before, and the dazzling array of goods is dazzling.

Qin Shuangchi took her across the street and came to Zhuque Street.

This place is even more crowded.

The entire street was filled with performances. Tall stands were erected on the buildings on both sides of the street, which seemed to be part of the performance, and lanterns were hung all around.

There was a red box on the top of the high shelf. Jiang Ningwan saw it immediately and leaned close to Qin Shuangchi's ear and asked loudly, "What's on the top of that shelf?"

"It's a prize."

"What the magic troupe prepares is different every year. It's not something expensive, but it's very meaningful."

Jiang Ningwan was puzzled, "Why is it so significant?"

Qin Shuangchi explained, "This magic troupe has traveled extensively for many years, experiencing plague areas and many natural and man-made disasters. However, their luck has always been good. No one has fallen ill, and no one has been injured or killed."

"And their successive masters all lived to be over 90 years old. The reason this magic troupe is so popular is because people say they are lucky and blessed, and are protected by heaven."

"Every year, those who get the lucky number receive the magic troupe's good luck and blessings, and good things will happen to them."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was slightly surprised, "I see."

"Then how can I get this?"

Seeing what she wanted, Qin Shuangchi smiled mysteriously, "You'll know later."

As he spoke, Qin Shuangchi took her into the street to watch a magic show.

These are things I have never seen in Kyoto.

The whole street was filled with joy.

A black figure was standing on the second floor of a street teahouse. When he glanced at the street below, he suddenly saw that smiling face.

My heart suddenly tightened.

Looking at Jiang Ningwan's outfit today and her cheerful expression of laughter and applause, I have never seen her so happy.

A hint of warmth appeared in Qin Beihuang's eyes. He had been here for several days and finally saw her.

Seeing that she was fine, he felt relieved.

"I can't see..." Jiang Ningwan supported Qin Shuangchi's shoulders and stood on tiptoe to look inside, but there were too many people and she couldn't see anything.

Qin Shuangchi suddenly squatted down and said, "Come up."

Jiang Ningwan originally thought that Qin Shuangchi was going to carry her on his back, but unexpectedly, Qin Shuangchi let her ride on his shoulders.

He stood up quickly, and Jiang Ningwan's vision suddenly widened, allowing her to see the performance clearly! But she felt a little embarrassed because she was so tall.

"This is not good. Look, these are children riding on their father's shoulders." Jiang Ningwan bent down and lay on Qin Shuangchi's head.

Qin Shuangchi smiled and said, "What's the big deal? This performance only happens once a year. I don't know when I'll see it again. Don't have any regrets."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan straightened up and said, "That makes sense!"

Just when Jiang Ningwan was watching happily, someone suddenly pushed her. She was too tall and almost fell down. Fortunately, her waist was good and she stabilized her center of gravity in time.

I turned around and saw it was a little boy.

She was riding on her father's shoulders, holding two strings of candied haws in her hands, and said disdainfully, "Big sister, you have no shame."

Jiang Ningwan was a little angry. She snatched the candied haws from the child, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into her mouth.

The child was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears.

"Run!"

Jiang Ningwan patted Qin Shuangchi on the head. Qin Shuangchi was also startled and turned around and ran away.

The child's father's angry voice came from the back: "Who are you, shameless person? How dare you snatch the child's candied haws!"

The two ran very fast, standing out in the crowd.

Jiang Ningwan smiled happily as she ate her candied haws. "If they knew that the King of Chu was so shameless, I wonder what his reputation would become tomorrow."

Qin Shuangchi said, "You stole it, it has nothing to do with me!"

The next moment, the candied haws was stuffed into his mouth.

Jiang Ningwan smiled triumphantly and said, "Now it matters!"

Qin Shuangchi was chewing on a string of candied haws, so he had to put her down immediately. He picked up the candied haws and bit off a piece, his eyes cold, "Frame me?"

"You have ruined my entire lifelong reputation!"

He raised his hand and pinched Jiang Ningwan's face.

Jiang Ningwan started running.

Qin Beihuang, who was standing in the teahouse, also witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but chuckle. Why didn't he know that she had such a lovely side before?

But when he saw her chasing and playing with the King of Chu and laughing happily, a feeling of bitterness welled up in his heart.

If I had spent more time with Jiang Ningwan, if I hadn't brought Lu Qingheng with me when I returned from the expedition, if I hadn't married a concubine, I would be the one joking and playing with her now.

He couldn't help but imagine how happy such a life would be.

The King of Chu was so lucky. He married Jiang Ningwan, stood up again, and received so much love from Jiang Ningwan.

If only God could give him a chance to start over.

He will never lose her again!

Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi walked around the entire street and watched all the magic tricks. They couldn't help but wonder, "You still haven't told me how to get the prize on that shelf?"

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums came from the end of the street.

The crowd moved out of the way.

Then a lion dance troupe appeared, jumping and leaping vividly.

Jiang Ningwan was surprised, "There's even a lion dance."

Qin Shuangchi leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I'm going to buy some food and will be back soon. You can watch the lion dance first."

"Okay, hurry up!"

Soon Qin Shuangchi ran away and disappeared from sight.

There was cheering on the streets as a lion dance team appeared, with lions of various colors marching happily to the sound of drums.

Jiang Ningwan saw a group of lion dance teams slowly approaching the bottom of the platform. She was surprised to find that the prize on the platform was reserved for lion dance.

But why hasn’t Qin Shuangchi come back yet?

She looked around for a while, but Qin Shuangchi still didn't show up, so she decided to find a good spot to watch the lion dance first.

So he went up to the second floor of a nearby teahouse.

When Qin Beihuang upstairs saw Jiang Ning coming in the evening, he was immediately excited.

But then a gong sounded from below, and the man shouted, "The lion dance begins! Whoever can grab the prize today will get it!"

“Everyone can participate!”

Qin Beihuang looked up and saw the red box on top of the high shelf.

He looked back and saw Jiang Ningwan coming through the crowd. He made up his mind and jumped down.
