Chapter 306 Challenging Lantern Riddles

"How about we all go play?"

Before Pei Yuanlie, Shen Liang's eyebrows raised slightly. Anyway, he is idle anyway, and he is not afraid of being surrounded by the people when he competes on the high platform. The big guys are lively and lively together.

"Be quiet."

Pei Yuanlie turned his head and gave him an angry look: "It's cold outside, you're still pregnant, I'm going to win that lantern as a gift for your birthday."

If others don't understand him, can he not know?His Liangliang family is not a stable person in his bones.

"Okay, then thank you, my lord."

Seeing that his plan to go out to join in the fun was seen through, Shen Liang could only shrug his shoulders and give up helplessly.

"I'll go and have a look too, you stay here to chat with Liangliang and Yelin to relieve boredom."

Wei Xu stood up as he spoke, and Wei Qin brothers who were eager to try got up one after another: "We haven't played yet, let's all go and see."

At their suggestion, the third prince and his wife, Murong Yuwei Tan also joined in for fun. Ling Yucheng looked at Wei Xuan, and sat still decisively. There was no need to compare his own shortcomings with others' strengths. People should be enough.

"Little ancestor, shall we win that lantern?"

Before going out, Pei Yuanlie picked up the little ancestor who was talking enthusiastically with Dabao Weilin, and looked in the direction of his finger, and Xiao Shenyou's eyes lit up immediately: "Uncle, I want uncle!"

"Then we'll go and win uncle back."

Sweeping away the previous depression, Pei Yuanlie laughed and carried him out of the private room door, just as the door of the private room where the princes were was also opened, several princes came out in a file, the eldest prince smiled enthusiastically: "Yuan Lie and the few General Weiwei also participates?"

"Big cousin, don't you want to go too?"

Glancing at him lightly, Pei Yuanlie, who was holding the child, walked past him, and Wei Xu, who was accompanying him, nodded with a smile, and did not intend to respond. The Wei family never interacted with princes, and this is not a strange thing.

"Brother Emperor, let's go together."

When it was the turn of the third prince and his wife, Qin Yunyi took the initiative to invite him, with a look of no intention, and the embarrassing princes drew smiles one after another: "Didn't the third son always like this kind of activity? How could he be so interested today?" ?”

"Yu Lin said that if I guess one hundred lantern riddles correctly, tomorrow he will personally cook for me a table of delicious food."

When it comes to food, Qin Yunyi's whole body seems to be exuding an invisible light, and the princes who were still a little doubtful immediately dispelled their doubts, and secretly scolded themselves for being paranoid, they are just foodies, they are too weak.

The three hundred lantern riddles are not something you can start solving right away when you stand on them, but after a certain time, two or more people must participate to open the riddles. Famous talents, as well as representatives of various families and governments stepped onto the high stage. When Pei Yuanlie and the princes took the stage together, the atmosphere reached its peak in an instant. Almost all the people at the Lantern Festival gathered here. Some bold Shuang'er girls even yelled the name or title of the person they admired. There was only one day in a year, and no one would laugh at them.

"According to the competition rules, each person can bring a deputy. Everyone, please be prepared. The lantern riddle will be opened after a stick of incense."

As long as you stand on the high platform, regardless of whether you are a prince or a prince, the rules are the same. There is a circle of seats around the high platform. At this time, all of them are full of people, and some are in pairs, such as the third prince and his wife, Murong In Yuweitan, some are alone, such as the brothers of the Wei family, most of them still have one master and one servant, such as the princes.

The sharp-eyed people discovered that Qingping King Pei Yuanlie also brought someone, but it was not the princess they wanted to see, but a white, fat, and extremely cute little doll. Everyone knew that it was Donglinghou and Yongan. Hou's eldest son, Shen You, but they didn't understand why King Qingping brought a baby, didn't they expect him to help him solve the riddle?

"My lord, the lantern riddle is about to start, should I send Xiao Shizi back first?"

The young man in charge of hosting this lantern riddle meeting also noticed that when the stick of incense was about to burn out, he couldn't help but stepped forward to remind him.

"No, uncle!"

Before Pei Yuanlie, Xiao Shenyou pointed at the revolving lantern and yelled loudly, Pei Yuanlie raised his eyebrows: "That's it, today the king and Xiao Shizi will win that lantern back to the princess as a birthday present. "

"Wow, the prince really loves the princess!"

"Xiao Shizi is so soft and tender!"

"I heard that Xiaoshizi likes the princess the most. I didn't expect it to be true. She's so cute."

"My lord, come on, my son, come on!"

The youth who kindly reminded them couldn't help being a little messy, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help twitching, but the surrounding people were different. Seeing that they loved the princess so much, the enthusiasm of the people was unprecedentedly high, shouting to cheer them up, Pei Yuan Lie was not as cold as usual, and raised his hand to wave at the people under the high platform. Seeing this, the little ancestor tilted his head and thought about it, and imitated him and waved his chubby hand vigorously, not only The common people, even the contestants on the stage and the distinguished guests watching from various boxes in Tianxin Building couldn't help but be amused by his heart-warming and cute little gestures.

"It's time, let's start the lantern riddle!"

When the sticks of incense were burned out, the young man in charge refreshed himself, raised his arms, and the sound of gongs and drums sounded again. Three handsome young men climbed onto the high platform with trays in their hands. The red sealing paint, before opening the lantern riddles, several respected and respected celebrities in the folk checked the sealing paint of the bamboo tubes separately, in case someone leaked the lantern riddles in advance.

"Now let's open the first [-] lantern riddles."

After the celebrities confirmed that they were correct, the young man picked up one of the bamboo tubes, opened it in front of everyone, and pulled out a roll of rice paper, which was filled with densely packed words. The young man unfolded the rice paper: "The first question, early autumn Welcome sincere people, type a word, please write down the answers you have guessed on the paper, after ten breaths, everyone will reveal the answers together, and I will announce the correct answer, those who answered correctly will continue to stay on the stage to challenge, answer If you make a mistake, please leave on your own.”

Before he could finish speaking, all the participants started to think, and some of them started to write. Pei Yuanlie smiled slightly, holding the restless little ancestor in one hand, and picking up the wolf hair in the other.

"Chuqiu ushered in a sincere person, what is the answer? Is the first question so difficult?"

On the third floor of Tianxin Building, Shen Liang and the others were in the private room. In order to see the situation outside, all the windows facing the high platform were opened, and the people who stayed in the private room also moved to the window. Xiaozhuo scratched his head and thought. He didn't think of a reason for a long time, so he turned around and asked with a shy face, "Brother, what's the answer?"

"If you don't move your mind, it's probably going to rust."

Xiang Qing bent his fingers angrily and tapped his head, Shen Liang, Yang Tianyu and others couldn't help covering their mouths and chuckling.

"Oh brother, just tell me."

Xiao Zhuozi was used to being teased by his brother, so he didn't care at all, and stepped forward to take his arm even further. Wei Xuan, who was beside him, also quietly pulled Ling Yucheng's clothes, and whispered in his ear: "The answer to the riddle is What?"

They are not stupid. Guessing crossword puzzles requires a huge amount of reading as a basis. Of course, it is not so easy for them who do not like to read.

"It's Qin, Qin of Great Qin!"

Shen Liang looked down with a smile and said the answer lightly.

"Let me just say, it must be Qin!"

Xiao Zhuozi slapped his forehead, as if he had thought of it long ago but didn't have time to say it, Xiang Qing couldn't help but patted his head again: "You are very good at hindsight."

"And thick-skinned!"

"Ha ha……"

Yang Tianyu added bluntly, everyone laughed unanimously, Xiao Zhuozi puffed his cheeks angrily, why did he have such a hard life, with a brother and bad friend who would only expose his faults.

"The correct answer is, Qin, Qin of Great Qin!"

At the same time, the answer to the riddle was also announced below. The young man invited away those who gave the wrong answer, Pei Yuanlie and others, Ye Tian and the princes all stayed on the stage: "The second question, the cuckoo is red in the sound of the cuckoo, guess what?" idiom."

Soon, the second question was also announced.

"Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant!"

This time, without waiting for Xiao Zhuozi to ask, Yue Zitong said the answer in a gentle voice, and no one refuted it. Obviously, their answers were the same.

"The answer to the riddle is the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers!"

Sure enough, the correct answer published below is exactly the fragrance of birds and flowers.

"Brother Tong, you are amazing!"

Xiang Zhuo crowded beside him excitedly, his eyes were full of admiration, Yue Zitong smiled slightly, and said humbly, "It's just that I read more books."

"The first [-] questions are not difficult, let's stop blowing the cold wind here, sit down and drink a cup of hot tea, cool, Yelin, especially you two."

Xiang Qing, who had participated in this kind of challenge, walked back while talking. Everyone thought about it, and they turned away from the window one after another. Ling Yucheng pulled Wei Xuan and said in a calm voice: "Xiaoxuan and I will go out for a walk."

"Alright, bring a few more people, as there are too many people, it is easy to cause accidents."

They are already a prospective husband and wife, and when the relationship is good, everyone has no objection, and Shen Liang just reminded her casually.

"Ah."

Nodding, Ling Yucheng and Wei Xuan left the box together, Wei Yue looked at them and then Fan Zhongyun with the child, got up and said: "Brother Da, Liang Liang, Zhong Yun and I will take Dabao out for a stroll, come back to the emperor We have been in the city for so long, and we haven’t come out to play yet.”

"Okay, stay safe."

"Ah."

After Qi Yue and Fan Zhongyun also left, Xiang Zhuo lay down on the table depressed: "Yucheng and Xiaoxuan's relationship is really good, and Murong and Lao Wei also went in and out together. I didn't expect that they would be the latecomers. .”

It was obvious that he and Jing Shizi were the first to confirm their relationship, but let alone their engagement, Jing Shizi didn't come back yet.

"Latecomers win? Little Zhuozi, are you hiding something from me?"

Xiang Qing was worthy of being the number one scholar back then, and he immediately sensed something was wrong in his younger brother's words. Xiang Zhuo couldn't help but shuddered, and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, absolutely, no, brother, you got it wrong."

This move is undoubtedly better than Wuyin 300 Taels here, isn't it?

Shen Liang and the others were unable to support their foreheads, with an expression of being defeated by him.

"Just pretend I got it wrong, let's talk slowly when we go back."

Taking a deep look at him, Xiang Qing said meaningfully.

"elder brother……"

Xiang Zhuo's face fell immediately, he was just feeling emotional for a while, couldn't he just pretend he didn't hear it?Jing Shizi is not in the imperial city now, so how can he tell him that he and Jing Shizi have already privately decided to spend their lives together in the future?

"Brother Qing, if you continue talking, Xiao Zhuozi should cry."

Unable to bear him crying all the time, Shen Liang kindly uttered a voice to help him out.

"Liangliang, you dote on him more than I do, don't forget, you are younger than him."

Xiang Qing shook his head helplessly, he could probably guess some things, but he couldn't talk about them.

"It's not a matter of age. Xiao Zhuozi is very cute. At least he often provides us with jokes. Isn't it right to pet him?"

"Liangliang, are you praising me or hurting me?"

"Thank you for hearing that Liangliang is hurting you!"

"Hahaha……"

The box burst into laughter once again, and the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful. In contrast, another box located on the third floor was a completely different scene. The princes all went to It was time to challenge the lantern riddles, but Qin Yunshen, who was already the crown prince, did not go. The future crown princess Chen Zhiqi did not even bother to participate. More importantly, he had no interest in the final lantern. No, to be precise, he should be extremely disgusted. Therefore, the prospective couple who stayed in the box ignored each other, as dull as two statues.
