When she heard this, Feng Jiu couldnât help but smile: âYou arenât considered a man yet, youâre just a little boy.â When she finished speaking, she saw that he was sulking again. He looked exactly like Hellâs Lord and she couldnât help but reached out to touch his cheeks.
âLittle rascal, you are always sulking, arenât you afraid that you will age faster?â However she was secretly smiling on the inside. She didnât dare touch Hellâs Lordâs face, but she had no problem touching the little rascalâs face.
He removed her hand and said: âDonât rub my face.â
âToday is the fifteenth, itâs Lantern Festival. We shall go to the palace for a meal and then I will take you for a walk around the Lantern Festival, how about that?â She asked with a smile as she looked at the proud little guy in her arms.
âOkay.â He replied, somewhat happy.
In the evening, they headed to the palace. As Su Xi was still in her confinement period and unable to go out, they had a simple reunion dinner and played with the baby for a while before they left.
On this Lantern Festival night, the streets of the city were lined with various coloured lanterns. You could also guess riddles and set off fireworks, there was joy everywhere.
They looked at all the different lanterns with him walking next to Feng Jiu. His eyes wavered slightly and he came to stop by some lanterns. He looked at them all and finally, his gaze finally landed on a lotus flower lantern. He looked at the puzzle below and said to the street hawker: âTake this one down.â
âOh little boy, if you can guess the riddle, the lantern is free, if you canât guess the riddle, you have to pay for it.â The hawker said with a smile and took the lotus flower lantern down, he said: âLittle mister, the riddle on this lotus flower lantern is: it is red on one side, green on one side, happy wind on one side, happy rain on one side, guess one word.â
âAutumn.â Little Hellâs Lord answered and reached out his hands: âGive it to me.â
The smile on the hawkerâs face froze and he looked at the riddle answer before handing the lantern over to him. He smiled as he said: âLittle mister is so smart, you guessed it immediately, youâre correct, the riddle answer is autumn. The lotus flower lantern is yours.â
âDo you like this?â Feng Jiu walked over and also picked up a lantern, hers was a fish shaped lantern: âI thought you would like this one.â She waved the lantern in her hands and passed it over to him.
He glanced at it before he took the lantern. As he took the lantern from her, he also passed her the lotus flower lantern and said: âItâs for you.â
âFor me?â
She smiled with surprise and was somewhat pleased: âThank you.â
When he saw her happy face, his eyes widened slightly as he tried hard to maintain a cool expression. However, the corners of his lips couldnât help but curled up slightly and revealed his cheerful mood.
âWhat other lantern do you want? I will give it to you.â He held the fish shaped lantern she passed to him in his hands and looked up at her with a look of confidence that he would be able to get it as long as she liked it.
âOne lantern is enough, letâs go! Letâs go to the front and eat some mini dumplings.â She smiled as she held the lantern in one hand and his hand in the other.
The two of them walked to the stall at the front to eat mini dumplings and squeezed with the crowd on the streets to watch the performances on the street. Finally, they watched the fireworks. It was midnight by the time they returned to the residence to rest.
After his bath, Little Hellâs Lord laid on his bed and looked at the woman stood by the window looking outside at some faraway place and asked: âWhat are you looking at?â
âItâs the fifteenth tonight, Iâm wondering if his frost poison is acting up?â
