The Lantern Festival is also called the Shangyuan Festival.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the fifteenth day of July and the fifteenth day of October are the first full moon nights of spring, summer and winter respectively.

Therefore, it is also called "Three Yuans", that is, the so-called Shangyuan, Zhongyuan, and Xiayuan.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, and there is a custom of burning lanterns and decorating them with colors, so it is also called the "Festival of Lanterns".

Daqian and Dazhou dynasties stipulated that the Shangyuan Festival should be kept late for three days and the whole country would celebrate it.

This is an extremely rare opportunity for the people of Dazhou who are subject to the curfew system all year round.

On the eve of the Yuan Dynasty, the banquet activities became more prosperous and extravagant, and there were hundreds of singing and dancing in the bustling theater.

Tonight, Chang'an and Luoyang are of course the most prosperous, but Xunyang City in the far south of the Yangtze River is not far behind, second only to Yangzhou, Jinling, Qiantang and other places.

It can be regarded as one of the most prosperous places in Jiangnan.

Xunyang City, on the thoroughfare of Xingzifang.

A grand tour activity is being held, and the colorful lantern tree lantern festival attracts audiences from all walks of life.

Nobles, relatives, princes, princes, and grandsons, as well as craftsmen and merchants, all come here for night excursions.

Among them, there are also many beauties who originally lived in seclusion and went out in groups to enjoy the scenery.

As the saying goes, beauties compete with each other, and the barriers are like clouds. Young men gallop together, with carved saddles like the moon.

So, of course, romantic appointments between men and women are indispensable. Many young men and beauties go out in pairs to enjoy the lanterns on the streets at night.

Ouyang Rong followed Rong Zhen into the street with a somewhat hesitant expression.

He stopped at a roadside stall at the corner of the street and bought a large folding fan, which he used to slightly cover his face while fanning himself.

However, the combination of the two still attracted a lot of attention on the street.

Mainly weird.

These people who don’t know why, because they don’t have a filter for the female history of the Control Yuan,

So they were all attracted by the beauty of this girl in palace attire. Well, at most they felt that this stunning little lady was a bit cold.

Of course, Ouyang Rong, who was accompanying Rong Zhen, did not hold back. The only shortcoming was that the height difference between the two was quite large, but...the height difference sometimes makes people frustrated, okay?

Although Ouyang Rong covered his face with a folding fan, he looked a little pretentious.

But he is already slender and weak, a standard template of a handsome young man.

In the eyes of other beauties on the street, although their appearance cannot be clearly seen, they are definitely considered to have a healthy and handsome temperament.

Of course, in the eyes of other men on the street, it's another story.

No, bro, I’ve already asked you to pretend!

However, even if he is full of flaws, the other male animals have to be convinced by him.

Because the icy little lady next to Ouyang Rong is indeed extremely beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth, and an elegant skirt, just like Chang'e in the moon.

A woman is always a man's best luxury.

Even if this man is dressed in beggar's clothes and looks slovenly and unkempt, no one dares to look down upon him.

A series of looks of envy, jealousy or curiosity were cast towards me.

Ouyang Rong fanned a little faster and covered his face.

Rong Zhen remained silent all the way, looking up silently at the dazzling layers of light wheels lining the street.

Ouyang Rong had no choice but to accompany him.

However, the two people who came to maintain law and order and prevent rebels were strolling slowly. In the eyes of the uninitiated, they must be lovers. You can tell by looking at the different looks of the passers-by around them.

Rong Zhen didn't seem to care at all.

Ouyang Rong couldn't help but look at her.

This female historian did indeed change into a new palace dress tonight, which was eye-catching.

This palace dress is mainly made of soft and delicate silk, and it has changed from the plain white in the past to a noble deep purple.

The palace skirt is embroidered with complex and delicate patterns, with auspicious totems such as peonies, phoenixes, clouds and cranes coming to life, and gold and silver threads running through them, shimmering...

In addition, it seemed that the night was cool, so she wore a half-arm gown, the veil was like smoke, gently swaying in the wind, adding to the elegance and mystery.

She is also wearing a fashionable high bun, with exquisite gold hairpins in her hair, and a delicate flower pin on her forehead, which is a crescent moon, adding a bit of femininity. There are small steps hanging on both sides of the temples, which follow the steps.

It sways gently and makes a pleasant sound.

The makeup on the face is also very particular, with the popular peach blossom makeup, eyebrows as thin as black, deep eye makeup, red lips, and a light powder on the cheeks, making the skin look like cream and the face like a peach blossom.

It not only has the beauty of a woman, but also the dignity of an official.

Ouyang Rong couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"I asked you to pay attention to the rebels and search for clues. Why are you keeping an eye on me?"

Rong Zhen, who had been looking towards the street, suddenly spoke.

She turned back, squinted at Ouyang Rong with her dark eyes, and whispered in a harsh tone:

"Not a gentleman at all."

Ouyang Rong made a serious face:

"Why can they see it but I can't, and I still care about you."

She looked away, but asked:

"What do you care about me? Do you dress up? Ouyang Lianghan, how can you be like those boring men? I hate the way they look at me most, it's annoying."

"It's obviously a look of admiration, but wait a minute, what I want to say is, Rong Nvshi is dressed like this and makes a jingling sound when she walks. How can she catch the rebels?"

Rong Zhen:……

The cold and cold girl dressed up tonight didn't want to pay attention to him at all. She just felt that he was more annoying than those men and was not as good as them. She walked forward quickly.

But as if she was worried about something, the female historian walked around and stopped at various places where people gathered. Every time when Ouyang Rong caught up with her, she turned around and walked to the next place.

All the way without stopping.

After a while, at the entrance of a theater, Ouyang Rong caught up again, panting and saying with relief:

"It turns out that Rong Nu Shi is really patrolling the streets."

Rong Zhen suddenly became furious and choked him:

"if not?"

"I thought Rong Nvshi was just trying to calm down. Besides, she deliberately delayed me to go back late to get angry with my junior sister."

Rong Zhen stopped and looked back, staring intently at Ouyang Rong's sincere expression for a while. After a while, he lowered his eyes and said:

"It's ridiculous. I have nothing to do. Why should I bet with her?"

She kept walking forward.

After a while, he said softly without looking back:

"If you are really in a hurry, just go back. I won't embarrass you."

As she spoke, the girl in palace clothes lowered her head slightly and walked forward for a while, but found that someone behind her had not fallen behind and was still following.

Didn't leave.

Rong Zhen raised his eyelids, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but look back, just in time to see Ouyang Rong looking up at the sky.

The corners of her lips that were originally raised immediately turned downwards, and she said in a dry tone:

"You keep looking at the sky, maybe it's the time. Why don't you leave in such a hurry?"

Ouyang Rong shook his head, put away his fan, and followed suit, curiously asking:

"It's okay. Let's go for a walk. We will go back to the palace in this direction."

"Oh, it turns out we are on our way. Mr. Ouyang has really calculated the route a long time ago. It seems that I am just being sentimental."

Ouyang Rong ignored him, glanced at her purple palace dress again, and suddenly asked:

"Rong Nushi's family background should be very prominent, and..."

He squinted slightly.

"Before, Rong Nushi was concerned about Princess Anhui. Did she know her before in Luoyang? She could be considered an acquaintance. That means they are in the same circle, right?"

Rong Zhen fell silent, walked forward for a while, and then spoke softly:

"That family... is long gone. I entered the palace at the age of seven. In my heart, the palace and Si Tianjian are my home."

Ouyang Rong was slightly startled: "Sorry, I mentioned your sadness."

"Sorry, what's the use? I've already mentioned it."

Rong Zhen urged with an impatient look:

"Get out of here right away."
