Chapter 544: Yue Lao Boat in Yue Lao Temple

Shen Ningning was surprised: "Huh? Miss Meng, you are also coming to Yue Lao Temple?"

Meng Wan Ning smiled without revealing a flaw.

"I was originally coming out with my brother and sister-in-law, but there were too many people just now, so I got separated from them. By chance, I saw Miss Ye coming over, and I heard that the princess was also here, so I came to say hello."

After saying that, she seemed to have just discovered Xu Jingxi: "So Third Master Xie is here too, so many of you are also here to enjoy the lanterns? I wonder if I can go with you?"

"It just so happens that my brother and sister-in-law will also come to Yue Lao Temple, I'll go with you."

Shen Ningning saw Ye Shangyi's depressed face, and knew that Ye Shangyi must have refused, but failed.

There was no way, Yue Lao Temple was open to the public, Shen Ningning couldn't stop Meng Wan Ning from entering.

So, she could only nod: "Okay, no problem."

Xu Jingxi looked calm, and no unusual emotions could be seen. He only said: "Since everyone is here, let's go in."

The Yue Lao Temple covers a large area, including half of the lake. If you want to worship Yue Lao and draw lots, you must take a boat to go there.

However, today is a special festival. In order to express gratitude to Yue Lao, the small path in the temple has replaced the usual boats with flat boats that can only accommodate two people.

At this moment, a group of people stopped by the lake.

Many couples lined up, waiting to cross the lake and go to the Yue Lao Temple in the center of the lake with bright lights to ask for lots and burn incense.

Shen Ningning took a look and saw that the long line was endless.

She frowned: "Forget it, I won't go. You guys go. There are too many people. I'll wait for you here."

Lu Shaoyuan said hurriedly: "Since we are here, if you are afraid of being tired, I will go to the queue and you can find a place to rest over there."

Meng Wan Ning rolled her eyes and suddenly said: "Why not let my maids queue here, we can go over there to see the lanterns first, and then come over."

This is a good way to save time, but Shen Ningning was a little hesitant.

Unexpectedly, Ye Shangyi, a simple-minded guy, immediately agreed.

"That's good, thank you Miss Meng."

"What's the trouble? We are all friends. Miss Ye, don't be polite to me." Meng Wan Ning smiled.

Shen Ningning sighed secretly.

Shang Yi really couldn't see the determined light in Meng Wan Ning's eyes when she looked at her third brother!

However, Meng Wanning's maid frowned and said, "Miss, I have no problem helping to line up, but you see, the lane over there only allows two people to travel together, how should I arrange it?"

"Discuss it in advance, so that I don't report the wrong name, and when you and the nobles come back, something goes wrong."

Shen Ningning subconsciously said, "It's very simple, for example, I will go with Xiaowei, Shangyi will go with my third brother, and then Miss Meng will go with your own maid."

Lu Shaoyuan's black eyes were startled: "What about me?"

"You go with Lord Pei." Shen Ningning glanced at him secretly.

Lu Shaoyuan remembered that Shen Ningning had told him that Ye Shangyi's purpose of coming today was to be alone with Xu Jingxi.

Even if he wanted to go with Shen Ningning, there was no way.

I could only nod silently: "I'll follow your arrangement."

Meng Wan Ning laughed dryly and said: "Your Highness Princess's arrangement is really appropriate, but today is a special holiday. Those who go on the boat are all men and women. Even if they don't know each other, they have to go together to get a good start."

"It doesn't matter to me. I can just sit with the maid, but for you, Princess, Miss Qi, and even Mr. Xie, it's better for men and women to go together."

Lu Shaoyuan pursed his lips and wanted to agree with Meng Wan Ning's proposal, but he didn't dare to say it.

He looked at Shen Ningning nervously with his black eyes, waiting for her to make a decision.

"Then..." Shen Ningning glanced at Ye Shangyi and Xu Jingxi: "It's better for the third brother to go with Shangyi, and Xiaowei will... go with Lu Shaoyuan."

At this time, Lu Shaoyuan and Pei Yin were silent at the same time.

Qi Xiuwei smiled gently: "I think it's good."

Ye Shangyi secretly glanced at Xu Jingxi beside her, but saw that he had a warm face all the time, as if he didn't support or disagree.

She hesitated for a while, fearing that if she agreed directly, her thoughts would be too obvious.

So, she couldn't help but say: "How about we draw lots?"

Meng Wan Ning's eyes were dark and gloomy when she heard what Shen Ning Ning said, but she immediately agreed when she heard what Ye Shang Yi said.

"Miss Ye is really smart, this is a good idea."

Shen Ning Ning's eyes widened, looking at Ye Shang Yi: "Do you really want to draw lots? What if you draw Lu Shao Yuan?"

Lu Shao Yuan: "It's not shameful to draw me!"

Shen Ning Ning glanced at him, and Lu Shao Yuan immediately changed his words: "It's just that I don't want to."

Unexpectedly, Xu Jingxi also said lightly at this time: "Just do it according to Miss Ye's wishes, drawing lots is not troublesome."

Meng Wan Ning was delighted and urged the maid: "Go over there and borrow paper and pen from the Taoist priests."

The maid was busy.

Shen Ning Ning secretly pulled Ye Shang Yi's sleeve.

The girl lowered her voice, her watery eyes filled with vivid anger.

"You'll piss me off sooner or later!"

"Don't be angry, Ningning, I feel..." Ye Shangyi glanced at Xu Jingxi who was talking to Pei Yin quietly: "I feel that Xu Jingxi doesn't want to be on the same boat with me. You said it twice, but he didn't respond."

Shen Ningning rolled her eyes beautifully.

"For a wooden man like my third brother, he agrees without saying anything!"

The maid brought a pen and paper, Meng Wan Ning tore it into several strips, wrote the last words of the names of all the male companions on the trip, and then folded them.

Shen Ningning was afraid that Meng Wanning was doing something secretly, so she kept a close eye on her, but luckily she didn't do anything.

After finishing writing, Meng Wan Ning took out her sachet, put all the notes in, and then handed them to the maid.

"Go and line up properly. We'll be back in a while."

"I understand, ma'am."

Shen Ningning looked at the maid's back, then looked at Meng Wan Ning, with an unnoticed smile on her face.

It was as if she already knew that she would definitely get Xu Jingxi.

A group of people went to watch the lanterns. The crowd was crowded, and Lu Shaoyuan followed Shen Ningning all the time.

He pointed to the lantern king hanging at the highest point. It was a seven-colored treasure lantern with a hexagonal lantern and thousands of dazzling tassels hanging from it.

In the night sky, the lights are constantly flowing and shining, it is really beautiful.

Seeing Shen Ningning staring at it for a long time, Lu Shaoyuan asked, "Do you like it? I want it for you?"

Shen Ningning muttered: "If you want to get the Lamp King, you have to write an excellent couplet and defeat all the talented people who come to challenge you. Can you do it?"

"Tch! Don't underestimate me, wait!" Lu Shaoyuan hurried away.

Qi Xiuwei walked up to Shen Ningning in time and said with a smile: "Ningning, I think although Lu Shaoyuan is not as good as the prince, he is still pretty good. At least he is impatient with everyone, but he is always attentive to you."

Pei Yin listened attentively and pretended to look at the surrounding lanterns.

He heard Shen Ningning say: "Lu Shaoyuan is very good."

Pei Yin secretly wrote down the task assigned to him by Mr. Lu so that he could inform him when he returned.

However, the next second, Shen Ningning said again: "But brother is better. The two of them are different. You see, if Lu Shaoyuan can't hold the lantern, he will try to buy it with money."

Qi Xiuwei tilted her head curiously: "What if the prince comes?"

"Brother will make everyone afraid to participate in the challenge. In the end, the lamp king can only be mine." At this point, Shen Ningning laughed herself.

Mo Lingwei's methods were always simple and crude.

Qi Xiuwei also laughed.

After a while, Lu Shaoyuan came back with a calm face.

"What's wrong? Lost to someone else so quickly?"

"There were too many people writing couplets. In the three-story library, there were over a hundred people queuing up to grab the Lantern King. I offered to buy it for three thousand gold, but the trail rejected me and said they would not sell it."

Qi Xiuwei secretly gave Shen Ningning a thumbs up.

What a guess.

Shen Ningning smiled: "Forget it, I don't really want it anyway."

As she spoke, she turned her face, only to see Ye Changyi disappeared, and Meng Wanning gathered around her third brother, greeting him with a smile.

Shen Ningning widened her beautiful eyes.

Where is Chang Yi!
