Chapter 545: An Unexpected Success

Shen Ningning walked over immediately: "Why are there only the two of you? Is Shangyi missing?"

Meng Wanning smiled: "Miss Ye suddenly got excited and took a fancy to the King of Lanterns. She said she wanted to win it, so she went into the library just now.

Among the more than a hundred people Lu Shaoyuan just saw, Ye Shangyi might be one of them.

Shen Ningning was extremely surprised.

Because Ye Shangyi's knowledge is not the best in the capital, it would be very difficult for her to go to the library to grab the King of Lanterns.

Today, there must be many knowledgeable talents competing for the King of Lanterns.

After a while, Ye Shangyi really came out.

She also looked sad: "I can't get it."

Lu Shaoyuan laughed: "There are so many people, of course you can't get it."

Ye Shangyi said: "I did go there, but I was beaten by someone else's couplet. I couldn't think of a better word, so I had to leave."

Xu Jingxi didn't say anything, just said: "It's almost time, let's go to the lake to take a boat. ”

They haven’t drawn lots yet.

Several people returned together and arrived at the lake. The maids were indeed almost in line, with six pairs ahead.

Meng Wan Ning said: "The princess has the highest status, so let the princess draw first."

Shen Ning Ning pursed her lips, suspecting that Meng Wan Ning let her draw first in order to exclude her first.

She shook her head: "I will draw last, you go first."

She wanted to see what tricks Meng Wan Ning had.

Qi Xiuwei stepped forward: "Then I will go first."

Anyway, she felt that it didn't matter to her, and it didn't matter who she drew.

Qi Xiuwei reached in and touched twice, and Lu Shaoyuan was a little nervous.

Don't really draw him away!

Until Qi Xiuwei took out a piece of paper, Pei Yin's eyes also had two more vague expectations.

Shen Ning Ning looked over: "Hey! You drew my third brother! "

Ye Shangyi and Meng Wanning looked over in surprise.

Especially Meng Wanning, she clearly put the paper with Xu Jingxi's name on it at the bottom.

Besides, she had already colluded with the maid before she came, and asked her to hold the paper with Xu Jingxi's name tightly when drawing, and let it go when she drew.

How come it was drawn by Qi Xiuwei!

Qi Xiuwei looked at Ye Shangyi with apology.

"I'm sorry..."

Ye Shangyi shook her head quietly at her, indicating that it was okay.

But Xu Jingxi said calmly: "Thank you for your help, Miss Qi. "

Shen Ningning was completely helpless now.

Meng Wan Ning failed to succeed, and Ye Shang Yi could not be on the same boat with her third brother.

Fortunately, Ye Shang Yi still had a chance.

So Shen Ningning cheered up and saw Ye Shang Yi go to draw again. As expected, she drew Pei Yin.

Okay, okay, now everything is messed up.

She doesn't have to draw anyone. It was agreed that she was the last one, and Meng Wan Ning would definitely draw Lu Shao Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Meng Wan Ning suddenly touched her hair: "Oh! One of my hairpins seems to have fallen off. I'll go over there to look for it. I'll leave you for now."

She left in a hurry, and the maid could only hand the sachet to Shen Ningning.

Lu Shao Yuan sighed: "It seems that we are destined to cross the river in the same boat. "

Xu Jingxi frowned. Why did he feel that Lu Shaoyuan had something else in his words?

Only when describing the relationship between husband and wife, would one say that it takes a hundred years to be able to ride the same boat, and a thousand years to be able to sleep on the same pillow.

Ye Shangyi then said: "Just be happy, Lu Shaoyuan, it seems that you and Ningning are only destined to be together for a hundred years. If you want a thousand years, you have to practice more."

After she finished speaking, Lu Shaoyuan's eyes sank: "Isn't a hundred years enough? I am satisfied!"

Shen Ningning smiled helplessly: "Let's go, take a boat. "

The maid didn't leave, intending to wait until Meng Wanning came back.

Shen Ningning and Lu Shaoyuan took a boat, drifting on the lake, heading for the Yue Lao Temple on the brightly lit island in the middle of the lake.

At this moment, fireworks bloomed from time to time in the sky, leaving a splendid and dazzling light like day.

On the water of the lake, colorful lotus lanterns floated, and the love was particularly warm.

Unfortunately, Shen Ningning's eyes were empty of charm. Lu Shaoyuan sat opposite her and looked at her several times, but he found that the girl leaned over with curiosity and looked at the water.

"What are you looking at?"

"I was thinking, there are usually a lot of fish in this lake, why can't I see any now? "

Lu Shaoyuan was speechless.

He pressed his eyebrows. It was pitch black. It would be strange if he could see fish.

So in Shen Ningning's eyes, he was not as interesting as the fish in the lake?

Lu Shaoyuan felt that the atmosphere was very good at this time. If he didn't speak now, he might not have a chance in the future.

"Shen Ningning, something has been bothering me recently. My mother always forces me to get married. She..."

"Hey! Lu Shaoyuan, look!" Shen Ningning suddenly interrupted him and pointed to the boat not far away.

"Is that my third brother? Why did he go back by boat?" Shen Ningning was shocked.

Lu Shaoyuan looked closely and saw Xu Jingxi's figure.

Their boat was behind Qi Xiuwei and Ye Shangyi, so Xu Jingxi should have sent Qi Xiuwei to the island in the middle of the lake, and then took the boat back to the place just now.

Lu Shaoyuan was extremely surprised.

"Your third brother...didn't he go to pick up Meng Wanning? It's over. Ye Shangyi definitely has no chance. "

Shen Ningning frowned: "How is it possible!"

When the boat reached the shore, Qi Xiuwei and Ye Shangyi stood together, saying something to comfort each other, and Pei Yin stood aside in silence.

"Shangyi!" Shen Ningning hurried over: "Why did my third brother go back?"

Ye Shangyi raised her head with red eyes: "Ningning, I think I don't need to ask. He said he was going back. I'm afraid he was worried about Miss Meng. In this way, the question in my heart has been answered."

Qi Xiuwei said: "Maybe not necessarily. Xu Jingxi just told me that he had something to do and let us play first. What if he was going to do something else?"

Shen Ningning quickly agreed: "That's right, let's not think too much, let's go to ask for divination first."

Ye Shangyi nodded weakly, a little uninterested.

There were so many pilgrims in the Yue Lao Temple that it was crowded and impossible to get in.

Ye Shangyi no longer had the heart to ask for divination, and Shen Ningning had no intention of asking, so she sat under the tree outside to accompany her.

Qi Xiuwei planned to go into the temple to pay her respects, and Lu Shaoyuan followed. Pei Yin said to Shen Ningning: "I will go to watch the second young master Lu to prevent him from being squeezed and injured."

After that, he hurriedly followed.

Shen Ningning shook her head secretly: "It's obvious that she followed to protect Xiaowei, but she was just being stubborn."

Ye Shang leaned on her cheek: "I envy Xiuwei so much, at least Lord Pei is very humane, and his warmth and coldness are written in his eyes."

Shen Ningning was amused by her words: "My third brother is the same, but he doesn't show it easily. It doesn't matter. I'll help you knock on the side when we go back later!"

"Besides, there is not a good man like my third brother in the world!"

Ye Shangyi laughed and felt much better.

Just then.

The book building on the other side of the lake suddenly set off several fireworks, and there were crackling sounds of firecrackers.

The fireworks were dazzling, and Shen Ningning and Ye Shangyi were stunned.

The pilgrims next to them stopped and talked--

"Oh, why is it so lively there?"

"Don't you know? That's someone who won the Lantern King, and the fireworks set off in celebration in the temple!"

"So many talented people gathered tonight, and the person who can win the Lantern King must be extraordinary."
