Yun Jinnian smiled slightly, "Thank you, Prince, for the lantern. It is very beautiful, and I am very happy. I will surely take good care of it!"
"Good!"
Chu Yu quickly responded, bowing to Yun Jinnian with clasped fists before returning to his seat.
Their seats were originally close to each other, and Yun Jinnian seed to still be able to sll the scent lingering on Chu Yu, feeling his happiness and joy.
Sitting down with the lantern, Yun Jinnian also started to smile.
Dai Hanmi naturally noticed Yun Jinnian’s good mood and couldn’t help but feel a pang for her older brother, who had not returned since that trip out, leaving her wondering about his situation outside.
But, the most uncontrollable thing in the world is love.
"Are you happy?" Dai Hanmi asked softly.
Yun Jinnian looked at Dai Hanmi and nodded slightly.
"Happy for you!"
Yun Jinnian was a good girl, and even if she couldn’t beco her third sister-in-law, she deserved soone better.
"Thank you, Sister Hanmi!"
Feng Wushuang sat in his seat, holding a wine cup, unable to regain his composure for a long ti.
"Brother Feng?" Liao Shijie called softly.
Feng Wushuang responded to the voice and looked at Liao Shijie, "What’s the matter?"
"Nothing much. Are we going directly back to the Feng Residence later, or will you co to my place for a drink with ?"
"That sounds good!"
"Then let’s bring a jar of good wine from the Huiquan Tower!"
"Sure!"
At this mont, Feng Wushuang needed sothing to numb himself, to not think, to not guess, to not doubt.
That way, that person in his heart was still that person, and he still had a chance.
Closing his eyes, Feng Wushuang held up the wine cup, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
The riddle competition thus ca to an end.
Yun Jinnian looked at her three happy younger brothers and three happy younger sisters and the absent-minded Xu Xinmo. She said to Dai Hanmi, "Sister Hanmi, it’s getting late. I’ll take them back first, and we’ll et again another day!"
"That’s fine!"
Knowing it wasn’t easy to manage so many children, Dai Hanmi did not insist on Yun Jinnian staying to play.
Yun Jinnian looked at Yun Zuomo, "Zuomo, go and ask Mu Si and Mu Lan if they are going back with us or if Elder Sister is taking them ho."
"Alright!" Yun Zuomo quickly got up and walked over to Yun Muyou’s table, "Elder Sister, Fourth Sister asked to ask, are Eighth Sister and Ninth Sister going back with us or are you taking them ho?"
Yun Musi and Yun Mulan also had a few lanterns. Though envious of Yun Jinnian’s precious two lanterns, they knew Yun Jinnian would not give them away, and naturally did not want to return with Yun Jinnian.
"We’ll let Elder Sister take us ho!"
Yun Muyou nodded slightly, "Then I’ll take them ho!"
"Alright!"
Receiving the answer, Yun Zuomo returned to inform Yun Jinnian.
"In that case, let’s go back!"
Yun Jinnian held the precious phoenix dance lantern, one hand holding Yun Kuan, Yun Zuomo holding Yun He, Yun Qingzhi holding Yun Mu, Yun Qingqing and Xu Xinmo following behind as they left Huiquan Tower together.
Yun Jinnian walked with an aloof elegance, not greeting anyone.
As for the other lanterns, several servants had already carried them out.
"Miss, you won so many lanterns?" Hei asked cheerfully.
"Mm, you can all pick whichever you like when we get back," Yun Jinnian said, casually pointing.
Hei looked at the exquisite lantern in Yun Jinnian’s hand, adorned with gemstone inlays in many places.
It was already so beautiful unlit; how magnificent would it be when lit?
Hei wanted to ask if this one was also won.
But under the eyes of the crowd, she refrained from doing so.
The group boarded the carriage and left to return to the Yun Residence.
In the carriage, the three younger brothers and three younger sisters were all imrsed in joy and were not keen to talk. Xu Xinmo hesitated for a long ti, preparing himself before finally speaking, "Cousin, your relationship with Prince Rui is not ordinary, is it?"
