Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

People's impressions are very interesting. Once you have a good first impression, you tend to look better afterward, and once you get prejudiced, it will naturally become less pleasing to the eye.

Therefore, Princess Jingping has taken a fancy to Baochai in her heart, and when she speaks later, she will inevitably observe her more carefully. Seeing that she has a calm attitude, a generous demeanor, and can take care of her younger sister when she speaks, she likes it even more in her heart. up.

However, she also knows her son's pickiness. If a so-called beauty has only appearance but no character, then it is only worth him to pay more attention to it, and he will not take it to heart.Of course, Cai Baochai was able to guess the lantern riddle downstairs just now, so Caihua is not off work, but he still has to verify it himself.

So after saying a few words, she smiled and said, "It's rare for me to go out on weekdays, and I only go out on a day like today. Many new things outside have only been heard of, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Looking at it today It's quite interesting." As he spoke, he changed the subject, "Just now you two were playing riddles downstairs, right? How was the result?"

"Equal share." Baochai laughed. "Actually, Sister Lin is very talented. I can't match her. But it's just luck."

"My sister is too modest, I don't dare to accept it." Daiyu said angrily.

Princess Jingping smiled and said, "Since we couldn't tell the winner just now, why not continue now?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was a little surprised, but she didn't realize it, "I know you young people will inevitably feel restrained in front of me, but you are not outsiders. It just so happens that I am here to be a witness for you two. Win or lose, how about it?"

Although she was asking for their opinions, but as a superior person, she did not have much room to refuse.After all, if he refused, he would disgrace Princess Jingping.

So Baochai could only laugh and said, "Thanks to Your Highness for not giving up, we will naturally obey." He also said, "It's just us two sisters, after all, we are so dull, it would be more lively if we all participated."

Zhao Ziyi also smiled and said, "Exactly, mother, don't think about leaving us alone."

Princess Jingping glanced at him and said with a smile, "You monkey can't help it, I'm just waiting for you to speak! Since it's a competition, there must be a winner or loser, and there should be rewards and punishments. What do you think? "

Bo Yang smiled and said, "Grass people don't measure too much, if you are punished with alcohol, please be merciful, Your Highness."

In fact, he himself is not superficial, and he talks about it, but the two girls, Baochai and Daiyu, are fine at home, and they must never get drunk outside.Especially if he lost his manners in front of the eldest princess, he might become a joke of the entire capital.

What's more, Daiyu is not in good health and can't drink too much.

Baochai came to her senses when she heard the words, and said with a quick smile, "My sister has been weak since she was a child, and now she is getting better. I'm afraid she can't drink too much. If she is punished, the daughter of the people is willing to take it on her behalf."

"Sister Bao's words, do you mean that I will definitely lose?" Daiyu said quickly, "Even if I lose, His Highness thinks he will be considerate and will never implicate Sister Bao. You should worry about yourself."

It seemed like you were making fun of yourself, but it forced Princess Jingping to be merciful.After all, if you really get drunk, there is no benefit.But she is not angry, brother and sister are harmonious and support each other, which is very good.

So after discussing, they made a rule, the eldest princess was the ordering officer, and the rest waited for orders.Order the officials to reveal the riddle, and the rest will guess the answer. Those who can't guess the answer will be fined with alcohol, or a riddle for others to guess. If someone can't guess it, they will drink the cup instead. If they can guess it, the fine will be doubled. .

After the explanation, the Eldest Princess pondered for a while, and then said, "The mystery is: leave the table. Guess an Analects of Confucius."

Because everyone had to guess, Eunuch Wei quickly prepared paper and pens for them to write on.After finishing writing, the officer will announce the answer.

This riddle is not very difficult, so everyone guessed it. It is the sentence "not in place".So the commander continued to ask questions.This time she took a trick, the answer to the mystery was the hairpin on her head, Xue Pan, Bo Yang and Zhao Ziyi didn't guess it, and Xue Bo simply received the fine wine, after all, they are not good at such word games. Baochai and Daiyu pursed their lips and laughed.

Especially Daiyu, ever since she met Bo Yang, she felt that this brother acted in a very appropriate manner, and there was nothing he couldn't do, even her never willing to give in to others, she couldn't help giving birth to The meaning of admiration is to regard him as a real brother and a reliable elder.

Seeing that Bo Yang is so cramped and unable to do things now, I feel very happy in my heart, as if in this way, I get closer to Bo Yang.

On the contrary, Zhao Ziyi refused to admit defeat, and came up with a riddle: "The drizzle is like silk. Guess a name."

In fact, this riddle is not a coincidence, but because there are only those names in total, as long as you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to guess the answer, so not long after everyone finished writing, Zhao Ziyi announced the answer. Pan guessed it all.

——He is not good at these games, but he can always learn a little bit by ear, and he has improved in the past few years. He has to learn some things when dealing with people on the scene.

So Zhao Ziyi had no choice but to touch his nose and drink two glasses of wine.

Although her son was frequently drunk, Princess Jingping was not worried at all, but seemed very happy.Because through this interaction and observation, she became more and more satisfied with Baochai, and had already recognized this person.And judging from Zhao Ziyi's reaction, Princess Jingping felt that he was not unmoved, otherwise he would not have acted more excited than usual.She was young, so she naturally understood what this meant.

The time in the game always passes quickly, but it is night now, so it is not convenient to stay outside until late.So after Princess Jingping got the information she wanted, she said, "It's getting late, and I'm here to watch the lanterns, so I'll let you sit here with me. I'll guess one last time, and we'll leave." Come on. You young people go and have fun on your own, don't be restrained."

After thinking about it, Fang said, "Not by the plum, but by the willow. Hit something."

For no reason, Bo Yang felt that this sentence was very familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it before. He lowered his head and thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out what it was, so he just let it go.Unexpectedly, when the answer to the mystery was revealed, he was the only one who hadn't guessed that it was the tuanfan.

Bo Yang suddenly realized that plum blossoms refer to winter, and willows refer to summer, so the round fan is only used in summer.

People at this time, even if they don't study, are used to holding a fan in their hands, even if they don't use it, it looks extremely elegant.Even a "rough person" like Xue Pan is not immune to common sense, so Bo Yang did not guess such a riddle that resembles the common sense of the public, and everyone was very surprised.

Bo Yang was also a little embarrassing, but being abused by unfamiliar ancient common sense still made him feel embarrassed. After a second thought, he said, "This time there will be no penalty for drinking, and I will also give you a riddle to guess. Six out Flying flowers and green moss will also hit one thing."

Everyone was concentrating and thinking hard, but they couldn't get it.After all, Liuchu is a snowflake, everyone knows that.But Cui Tai made people wonder.And the answer is still one thing, but I can't think of it.

Seeing that everyone was stumped, Bo Yang laughed and said, "The answer to the mystery is Sprite."

"What is Sprite?" Zhao Ziyi asked curiously.

"Sprite..." Maybe it was because of drinking, although Bo Yang felt that he didn't drink much, but he was always a little tipsy.At this time, it is easy for people to lose control of their thoughts, and their thinking spreads out, thinking of things that are impossible to think about or touch at ordinary times.

Think of where he came from.

These two words that no one else understands are his deepest homesickness.Bo Yang smiled slightly and said, "It's a kind of wine."

"But I've never heard of it." Zhao Ziyi said and looked at the others.

In fact, everyone has never heard of it, but Xue Pan naturally couldn't expose Bai Yang's shortcomings. Seeing him bowing his head and smiling, but not speaking, his heart was so itchy, so he said casually, "This is the wine brewed by Brother Yang. , the county king has never heard of it."

"Although this is the first time I've heard of it, since it's a good wine made by Brother Bai Shi, and it has such an elegant name, I think it tastes very good. When I get free, I'll come to bother you, and I hope you two don't begrudge the wine. "Zhao Ziyi said.

Xue Pan could only bite the bullet and continue talking nonsense, "It was brewed in Jinling before, but it was not brought to Beijing this time. I'm afraid the county king will be disappointed."

Zhao Ziyi was not disappointed either, and said again, "It's okay, drink with the two senior brothers, no matter what kind of wine, you can get drunk if you think about it."

Xue Pan had no choice but to promise to entertain him at home in the future.

Then Princess Jingping smiled and said, "I think everyone is a little drunk, why don't you just drink the last glass of fine wine and leave."

When I came out of the restaurant, I was a little drunk, and it was really late.They had informed Aunt Xue when they came out, and they didn't know why they were so anxious at home, so they decided to go back directly.

On the road, Baochai and Daiyu were in the same car, so naturally they could not avoid talking about the Princess Jingping whom they saw today. They all felt that she was dignified and majestic, majestic but not strict, which made people admire her instead of being intimidated by her identity. A model for women.It's no wonder that among so many daughters of the Supreme Emperor, she is the only one who is the most favored.

As for Hejun Wang Zhao Ziyi, although neither of them could not have noticed, there is a difference between men and women, so they tacitly did not mention it.

Xue Pan and Bo Yang got into the car, and Bo Yang immediately fell into Xue Pan's arms.He didn't think he was drunk at first, but after saying that, he suddenly felt drunk.It's just trying to cover up in front of outsiders.Now that there is no one around, naturally there is no need to pretend and relax completely.

After relaxing like this, I feel groggy all over, as lazy as if I can't summon any strength.

Seeing this, Xue Pan lowered his head and secretly kissed him on the lips.

Bo Yang opened his eyes and looked at him, then closed them again without even moving his fingers.It is rare for him to have such a cute and docile moment, and Xue Pan's mind was filled with many thoughts in an instant, ready to move.

"Brother Yang..." He yelled under his throat.
