My Princess Has Been Reborn

Guessing lantern riddles and winning lanterns is not difficult for Lu Qipei.

There is never a shortage of learned and talented people in Beijing. When Lu Qipei was led to the lighthouse by his servants, there were already seven or eight young people around who were guessing.Some are of average level and only guess the lower floors, while others are genuine and can guess the middle and upper floors in one go without stopping.

The palace lantern on this lighthouse seems to be the most beautiful among the surrounding ones, so many people came to try it, and Lu Qipei's joining did not attract anyone's attention.Until she guessed ten lantern riddles in one breath, and almost every time she got the question, she gave the answer without thinking. After a long time, she gradually attracted the attention of others.

Lu Qipei was quick-witted, guessing lantern riddles quickly, and before coming, Qi Yang had already pointed to the palace lantern on the top and asked for it, so she naturally wouldn't hold back.It didn't take long for her to overtake the young man who was far ahead in guessing lantern riddles. Lu Qipei passed him without blinking an eye and continued to guess.

No matter how tall the lighthouse is, it is limited to stack it layer by layer.This lighthouse is 21 stories high. To get the glazed palace lantern on the top floor, you have to guess 21 lantern riddles. If you miss one, you have to start from the beginning.

Lu Qipei took his time and guessed the top [-] right. When it was time to guess the last one, the steward who kept the lighthouse didn't give her a lantern riddle.

The steward didn't seem to have expected that the passer-by who was stopped at random was so powerful, but he still had a smile on his face: "Young master, you have guessed the first [-] lantern riddles correctly, which is really amazing. But the last question set by our master, is not so good. It's not a lantern riddle."

As he spoke, he waved his hands not far away, and a servant ran over with a pair of bows and arrows in his hands.However, Xu was worried that Shangyuan Lantern would hurt someone, so the arrow's head had been cut off, leaving only the bare shaft.

Soon, the steward cupped his hands and explained: "Young master is talented, we are already convinced. But my master has always admired people who are both civil and military, not to mention the gentleman's six arts of archery is also one of them, so the last question is just It's shot." He said and pointed to the glazed palace lantern at the top: "There is a lock on the top of the palace lantern, if you shoot it, you win, and you can win the lantern."

Lu Qipei squinted his eyes and looked up. Although the lights were brilliant, the darkness still affected his vision.She could vaguely see the lock that the steward was pointing at, but she couldn't help but sneered: "Your master is so bold, this last question is to let someone shoot the lantern with an arrow, and I'm not afraid that I will shoot the palace lantern by mistake." ?”

Although the colored glaze palace lantern is beautiful, the more delicate it is, the easier it is to damage it.Even if the arrow is cut off, a miss from such a short distance is enough to destroy the lamp.In this way, no matter whether the guesser wins or not, the owner of the lighthouse will lose a lamp.

When the steward heard this, the expression on his face finally froze for a moment, but he still forced a smile and said: "Young master is joking. If you hold up the bow, you have a plan in mind, how can you destroy it so easily?"

He didn't seem to want to continue this topic, and after he finished speaking, he handed over the bow and arrow.

Lu Qipei was a little careless in guessing riddles before, and had always hugged Lu Sheng, so naturally he couldn't still hug him when he wanted to shoot arrows now.She turned around and handed the dumpling to Qi Yang, took the bow and arrow herself and tried it out, the brows under the mask raised.

The bow that the steward handed her was not an ordinary bow and arrow, but a strong bow with three stones.Right now, the bows and arrows that are standard for archers in the army are only two stones, let alone three-stone bows for ordinary people, even shooting bows is a problem-the other party obviously wants to embarrass her, or the other party obviously does not want to do this Exported this beautiful palace lantern a long time ago!

Lu Qipei wasn't someone who cared about winning or losing, but it was really embarrassing for the opponent to lose like this.Before she could say anything, the young man whom she overtook before spoke up. He took two steps forward and said: "If your excellency is not good at archery, I can do it for you."

Such a hasty opening made Lu Qipei look back at the other party, who smiled sarcastically: "My sister likes this palace lantern very much, if, if you are willing to give up, I would like to make up for it."

After hearing this, Lu Qipei shook his head holding the bow and arrow, and said, "No need."

It is refusing to help, but also refusing to give up love.

Shooting arrows with a mask still affects the sight, not to mention the fact that night vision is already hindered, Lu Qipei finally took off the mask on his face just to be on the safe side.And when her jade-like face was exposed, it still attracted a small exclamation from the surroundings, and the many eyes that fell on her also became hot at this moment.

Lu Qipei ignored it and just smiled at Qi Yang ingratiatingly.

Her Royal Highness took over her mask with a little dissatisfaction, and held it for her for the time being. By the way, she warned in an arrogant and soft voice: "If you don't win the lantern, you will sleep in the study tonight!"

Lu Qipei didn't panic, blinked and replied in a low voice: "You are reluctant."

After the two openly flirted and scolded, when Lu Qipei turned around with his bow and arrow in hand, his whole demeanor changed.She raised the arrow and bent the bow, and slowly exerted force with her slender arms, and Sanshi's strong bow was gradually pulled away by her.

It can be seen that there is some reluctance, that thin body is tense due to the force of the arm, making people feel worried for her when they look at it.

The scene was quiet for a while, until Lu Qipei let go, and the arrow shot through the air with a "whoosh" sound...

The steward raised his head in a daze, and his heart was suddenly empty—the lamp at the top was the best palace lantern the master had found. It overwhelmed the rest of the opponents and made the master proud for several days.He guarded the lighthouse today because he was valued by the master's family, so he couldn't lose this light early.If this arrow hits the target, the palace lantern will belong to the opponent.But if it missed, most of the palace lantern might be destroyed by this arrow.

The strong bow he specially asked people to look for was because the other party was born thin, and he wanted her to be unable to draw the bow and avoid the possibility of damage.If he had known this before, it would be better not to do any small tricks, and simply let the opponent win!

In an instant, the steward thought a lot, and the arrow came to an end in an instant.

Lu Qipei's archery skills are really good. Although it was a bit reluctant to use the three-stone bow for the first time, the lock on the palace lantern is much thicker than the arrow shaft.For those who can hit even arrows, this difficulty is naturally not a big problem.

The arrow hit the lock, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, everyone cheered.

The steward's expression quietly changed a few times, and finally he raised a smiling face, put on a look of conceding the bet, and cupped his hands at her: "My lord is very skilled, this palace lantern is yours!"

The glazed palace lantern won was exquisite in workmanship and ingenious in design, no wonder it was valued by the owner of the lighthouse and he was unwilling to lose it early.But this thing is nothing in Qi Yang's eyes, it's not even as important as covering the son-in-law's face early.

Lu Qipei took the palace lantern to present the treasure: "A-Ning, the palace lantern you want. I won it back, do you like it?"

Qi Yang looked at Lu Qipei's bright smile but was a little speechless. She didn't need to look to know how much limelight the other party had made and how many eyes he had attracted.Immediately, my heart felt a little sour, so I conveniently stuffed Lu Sheng into Lu Qipei's arms like a burden, and quickly put that hideous mask on her again, and then dragged her away.

Lu Sheng was ignorant, but Lu Qipei just thought it was funny holding the lamp and holding the baby.But maybe it's Lu Sheng's role, others can tell that this is a family of three at the first sight, even if they know that Lu Qipei's face is handsome under the mask, no one ignorantly moves towards the three of them.

A servant opened the way, but the three of them quickly escaped from under the lighthouse, blended into the crowd and went to the next place.

In addition to lighthouses and guessing lantern riddles, what is more lively is actually the singing and dancing juggling surrounded by these lighthouses.As soon as the drums sounded, even Lu Sheng, who was temporarily attracted by the glazed palace lantern, looked over with curiosity.

Qi Yang and Lu Qipei didn't want to squeeze in with others, but seeing that Lu Sheng was interested, they also moved in.

The songs and dances performed on the streets during the Shangyuan Festival are naturally not the soft dances at palace banquets, and the dancers are not even women.I saw a bonfire ignited in the wide open space, people wearing masks with their upper body on their upper body, walking around the bonfire with strange steps, singing and dancing.It is said that this dance evolved from ancient sacrificial offerings. It has the meaning of praying for blessings and warding off disasters. Many people join in the fun and dance along.

Lu Sheng was attracted by the commotion, but he also knew that Qi Yang and Lu Qipei would not join in the commotion, even with masks on.The two hugged Lu Sheng and watched the excitement for a while, then walked to the next place.

Next came a juggling troupe, stacking high stools, spinning plates, and blindfolded darts. The wonderful performances also attracted bursts of applause.

There are also those who sing big operas, perform monkey shows, perform shadow puppets and puppet shows, and there are all kinds of excitement.Xiao Tuanzi was dazzled by watching, and Lu Qipei and Qi Yang also watched the excitement for a while, so that when he was about to leave, Lu Sheng rarely showed reluctance.

Lu Qipei went to ask the puppet show troupe to buy a puppet—the troupe also sells it, they just want to make money, and if they can make money from performing puppet shows, they can also make money selling puppets.It's just that the flexible puppets are exquisitely made, and the price is not only not cheap but expensive, so ordinary people don't think of buying them, or they give up the idea after asking the price.

Of course, the purpose of buying puppets was to coax the children, and Lu Sheng was really happy after receiving the gift.

Qi Yang leaned in front of Lu Qipei, blinked at her quietly, and silently accused her of only buying gifts for children.

Lu Qipei and Qi Yang looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help laughing - at this moment, she really felt that they were a perfect match.If it wasn't for the fact that they are both daughters and have children in the future, I don't know how much jealousy she would have to drink, and how much sour Qi Yang would be?

At that moment, he laughed sullenly, and Lu Qipei conveniently stuffed the glazed palace lantern he had been carrying into Qi Yang's hand—what is the puppet bought with money?This glazed palace lantern was the one she had worked so hard to win back for her!

Qi Yang couldn't hold back the resentment he pretended when he was sour, he chuckled lightly, and handed the palace lantern back: "You take it, what's the matter if I carry two lanterns?"

Lu Qipei took the palace lantern obediently again, and the two laughed and exchanged a few words, and the little sourness in Qi Yang's heart disappeared.

It was late, and they had to go outside the palace gate to join in the fun, watching the emperor and the prince ascend the building and light the lamps.
