Liangdu customs, February 12 as the festival of flowers. Flowers Day, also known as "Flowery God Festival", "Flowers Birthday", where people gather in front of the Flowery Temple to kill and offer fruits to congratulate the Immortals' Birthday, to walk in the suburbs, to fight flowers against butterflies, to gather at night to carry lanterns and parades, to display their love and adoration by throwing balls at each other … The grand occasion of the Flowery Dynasty Festival is not inferior to those of the Yuan Dynasty, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Moon Festival and the Shuangyang Festival.
Not long after breakfast, Dong Ling Wan brought Xue and Dong Ling Wan out of the house. Along the way, they saw that the flowers in the house had bloomed quite a bit. Dong Ling Wan's mood improved a little.
Although the Flowers God Festival was lively, most of the people who participated were commoners. Most of the girls in the high gate courtyard were not allowed to go out, so there was no other reason. Although DaYe is more open-minded, but such bold behavior, such as openly throwing the ball to express love, has always been disregarded by your people. However, for someone like Dongluo Wan who loved flowers so much, the Flowers' Day was more important than the holidays, so how could she miss it?
The people gathered in groups of twos and threes, the children chasing and playing, and the literati gathering together. At times like these, one would never be without feelings for the scenery, and one would always be able to draw and chant. Dong Ling Wan walked around the flower market, but didn't see anything she liked. On the other hand, since she was rather free, she folded some flowers and placed them on Dong Ling Wan's head.
"No way, how beautiful! Miss, let's go to the flower market and have a look. I'll give you something better to look at. " After listening to what Yu had to say, she pushed Dong Ling forward. Dong Ling could not refuse and allowed her to pull her along as she said helplessly, "You're the one who can't stay idle the most!"
Hearing this, Rui Quan pretended not to hear it. He grabbed a flower and inserted it into the wreath. Suddenly, he cried out in surprise. Dong Ling Wan followed her gaze and saw that there was someone flapping butterflies nearby. Her eyes also lit up.
There were already many people in the sea of flowers. Almost all of them were young ladies at the prime of their age. Beautiful women were like flowers, while beautiful women were like flowers. In this temple fair, it was a scene of brilliance. Dong Ling Wan turned her head to look at the two of them. In the bottom of her eyes, there was a hint of eagerness to give it a try. Dong Ling Wan said, "Wait for me," then carried her skirt and ran into the sea of flowers.
The young girl was wearing a soft pink dress with a translucent gauze covering her breasts. She was gently holding a small fan in her hand as she carefully approached the butterfly that was resting on the flower. The flower wreaths on her head were somewhat heavy, and the bangs on her forehead were pressed down, covering half of her almond-shaped eyes. Dong Ling Wan frowned slightly. She knew that this flower wreath would get in the way!
He did not dare make any big noise, and could only gently push aside the hair that was blocking his sight. With a flash of his watery eyes, Dong Ling Wan suddenly pounced forward, but that rainbow butterfly seemed to have grown a pair of eyes, and before she could step forward, she gently flapped her wings and flew away. Dong Ling Wan missed her target. Her heart was somewhat disappointed. She saw a punishment flying by gracefully, and finally stopped at the garland on top of her head!
Dong Ling Wan opened her mouth in shock, then slowly raised the foppish fan in her hand and covered her head. Unexpectedly, the butterfly flapped its wings again, and flew away before Dong Ling Wan's fan could land. Dong Ling Wan slapped her own head. Dong Ling Wan was in a rather bad mood. She pouted her lips as if she was venting her anger, then slapped the flower in front of her a few times. After that, she turned around and picked her next target. However, what Dong Ling Wan didn't know was that this childish action of hers had long since been completely captured in people's eyes.
"Who in the world is this girl that she wants you to just come and take a look at her?" On a pavilion not far away, a white clothed man gently waved his folding fan as he smiled in a refined manner. He smiled as he retracted his gaze to look at the person beside him.
The person beside him was dressed in black silk clothes and had a flute tied to his waist. He seemed to be thinking about something, and his pair of peach blossom eyes were slightly pricked up by his actions. However, when one looked at this person's face, they would discover that his eyes were extremely clear, and his body exuded a warm and mellow aura. The corner of his mouth was smiling faintly, as if he was a person who was extremely close to others, but it was precisely this kind of talent that became increasingly cold and seemed easy to get along with. In reality, there was always a barrier between them that could not be clearly seen, a faint smile, and a faint distance between them.
The man in black tilted his head and looked at the man in white, his thin lips curling up. "It's just that I've left something with her for a long time, so I came to take a look."
"Plum blossom?" The white-robed man grew curious.
"He's just a passerby." However, haven't you always been curious about her? Now that she's in front of you, how can you not recognize her? " The man in black winked in the direction of Dong Ling Wan. When he saw the puzzled expression on the man in white, he seemed to be very satisfied. He parted his lips and said, "Dong Ling Wan."
The white-clothed man frowned in disbelief as he heard this. However, when he thought back to the news he had heard, his figure and age seemed to match, but … What he saw today completely went against his expectations of this woman, Dong Ling Wan. Was this innocent girl really Dong Ling Wan who swallowed the Yue Clan with her iron-blooded wrist after she toppled Yue Yang? The man in white shook his head. "Is there a problem with the information?"
The black clothed man chuckled: "Are you asking for a person or a matter?"
The person in front of him was definitely Dong Ling Wan, right? As for the matter with the Yue Clan … Dong Qing Yu was in the imperial harem, underestimating Yue Yang by a head. Dong Shi would naturally be restricted if the Yue Clan tried to take advantage of them in the market, and thus, Dong Shi would always be part of the people who wanted to overthrow Yue Clan. It was just that the person who made this decision was not Dong Ling Wan …
"Pure appearance, a venomous heart. When have these types of women ever been absent? "
"Snake and scorpion?" Seeming to feel that the words used by the man in black were inappropriate, the man in white lightly repeated the two words before sighing, "There are very few women who are so intelligent in this world. This woman is most likely not one of them."
The black clothed man raised an eyebrow as if he disagreed with the white clothed man's words. His lips curled up into a playful smile: "Yes or no, we'll know once we try!"
Black shadows gradually descended from the sky. However, this was the busiest time of the day. Of course, there were many lanterns in the Flower Divine Festival. Since it was not the fifteenth yet, the sky was not completely full. There were even some dark clouds that covered up half of the moon. The night was as dark as ink, but the streets of the city were brightly lit. People walked on the streets while carrying lanterns, and occasionally a man and a woman would toss balls of silk. The streets were bustling with activity, and the smell of festivals filled the air.
Dong Ling Wan walked leisurely with a third grade lotus flower lamp in her hand, fearing that someone would bump into her. Qing Xue and Tingyu protected her from the front and back. Dong Ling pursed her lips and said, "Don't make such a big fuss, I don't feel comfortable."
The two of them moved closer, no longer deliberately blocking the people around them for her. At this time, Yu Yu laughed out loud, "If you don't want to be more careful, what can you do?" If Miss is injured, Young Master must chase us out when you return! "
"Big brother scared you, but you took it for real!"
"We don't dare to be taken as a joke. If we really contradict the young master, won't we all be selling off dozens of boards?!"
"It seems that I've been too indulgent towards you. You actually started to make up your big brother in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you out?!" Dong Ling Wan reprimanded her as she reached out her hand to scratch her. Seeing the situation, Qing Yu hurriedly ran away, begging for forgiveness while running, enjoying himself with the two of them.
Seeing that the two of them were having an argument, Glue Xue was a little worried. She quickly caught up to them, "Tingyu, slow down! Miss, be careful! "
Before Snow Cherry could catch up, it saw from afar a ball made of embroidery smashing towards Ling Wan's face. It immediately cried out in fear. When she came back to her senses, the ball was already right in front of her. She subconsciously took a step forward, and Dong Ling Wan barely dodged it, but then the lantern in her hand flickered, and Dong Ling Wan was momentarily stunned. She stepped on the corner of her skirt, and fell backwards …
Dong Ling Wan froze, her eyes widened, and no longer held any hope in her heart. However, at this moment, Dong Ling Wan felt her body being held by a hand, and was secretly happy. That person originally wanted to give her a hand in passing, but at this moment, the crowd suddenly became restless and unexpectedly took the opportunity to push Dongling Wan into his embrace. She raised her head and met that person's eyes. Her eyes widened in shock as she unconsciously called out in a low voice, "Inspector Ah?"
