An Eight-year-old Princess

The two walked along with the crowd. Yun Shang smiled and said, "I can see that the Ministry of Rites has put a lot of thoughts into it. At least I've never seen all kinds of small lanterns hanging on the trees before."

"What's more, there are exquisite lanterns on the roof corner of the houses we passed by."

Yun Shang turned to Luo Qingyan with a smile and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you can give some rewards to the Ministry of Rites."

"Okay." Luo Qingyan nodded, "I'll do as your majesty told."

As soon as Luo Qingyan finished speaking, he saw several exquisite boat by the lake not far away. He turned around and asked in a low voice, "Would you like to take a boat?"

Yun Shang shook her head and thought that they should be more careful.

It was late at night. The street was crowded, and the lights were shining as if it was daytime, but the lake was still dark.

If there were really assassins, the lake would be the best place to hide. In this dark night, it was difficult for the secret guards to search. Moreover, if the boat was too far away from the shore, it would almost become an isolated island in the lake. There was no way to escape.

"We'd better not take a boat. We can go to the lake and put the river lamp there."

"Okay." Of course, Luo Qingyan agreed. He smiled and asked, "What kind of river lamp do you want to buy?"

Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked around at the stalls on the shore. When her eyes fell on the most crowded stall, her eyes lit up.

Even from a distance, Yun Shang could see the exquisite and beautiful lanterns hanging on the stall, which were more eye-catching than the other stalls nearby.

Yun Shang saw a huge river lamp hanging up. It was different from other lamps, larger, and there was a lotus leaf under it. The petals were five or six layers in total, and they didn't seem to be made of paper, but like a thin and transparent cloth, which was beautiful against the light.
