Jade Without Fragrance: Chapter 129 guessing
Chapter 129 Guessing
On the other side of Dengshan, more and more talented people gathered, thinking hard about the answer.
In the spring rain, the wife sleeps alone, and the moon comes out at the time of waking up. The husband has not yet returned, and the butterfly has broken the cocoon and let the branches wither.
This is a poem about a woman who hides an anagram, and no one has yet been able to give the answer.
"You said, who can win that glazed lantern?" Zhu Jiayu held the lotus lantern, the excitement on her face still lingering, "Yi'er, why don't you try again?"
Chen Yi couldn't help laughing: "I don't have a clue, but I don't dare to be ugly."
Lin Hao is not good at guessing puzzles. He was all about the fun of the Shangyuan Festival, and he glanced around at random and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
is Qi Shuo, the son of King Jing.
Qi Shuo also found her, smiled slightly across the person, and strode out.
Qi Huan was shocked: "Brother, do you want to guess lantern riddles?"
Qi Shuo made a "hmm" sound.
Qi Huan was even more shocked.
Although eldest brother likes to read books, he never found out that he can guess riddles. The mystery of this poem is difficult, he just saw in the crowd that Yang Zhuangyuan didn't move.
Because no one had guessed it, the scene had been deadlocked for a while. When Qi Shuo appeared, the little official was overjoyed: "Young Master has the answer?"
Whether it's right or wrong, it's better than being in the cold.
Qi Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly: "I don't know the puzzle yet, how do I know the answer?"
"I've read the riddle." Because there were so many challenges, the clerk had memorized them all, opened his mouth and said, "The spring rain is always the wife sleeping alone—"
Qi Shuo politely interrupted the little official to recite the poem: "Sorry, I'm not challenging this puzzle, I want to try the butterfly lamp in the northeast corner of the seventh floor."
Xiaoli was taken aback.
Isn't this the hardest challenge?
Fortunately, he responded quickly, and hurriedly ordered the yamen to fetch lantern riddles.
The people watching the fun were a little speechless.
Everyone is thinking hard, how could this young man stand up without challenging the ninth floor of this poetic riddle?
Qi Huan patted his forehead, admiring the eldest brother's calmness, but he felt normal.
The seventh floor, there should be hope for the eldest brother.
But—Qi Huan looked left and right, suddenly moved.
Little sister is upstairs in Xuande, only he and eldest brother are with him. Is eldest brother going to give him lanterns?
Brothers are different!
In the crowd, many people recognized Qi Shuo's identity, including Chen Yi.
"Okay, is that Prince Jing's heir?"
"Well." Lin Hao's eyes fell on the man in the center of the crowd, a little funny.
Just looked at Prince Jing, Prince Jing suddenly moved, her first reaction was to come to find her, it turned out to be guessing lantern riddles.
Cough, think too much.
"Treading flowers and returning butterflies around knees." The little official took over the puzzle and read it out loud, "Tell the name of a medicinal herb."
The name of the medicinal material?
People thought subconsciously, and Qi Shuo blurted out: "It's Cyperus."
The little official glanced at the answer and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "You guessed it right, you guessed so fast!"
Qi Shuo took the butterfly lantern and smiled humbly: "I happen to know a little about medicine, I'm lucky."
This lantern riddle is difficult to say, but easy to say. If you don't know medicine at all, you can't think of it if you want to break your head, and it's not difficult to guess if you meet someone who understands pharmacology.
This is a rather biased puzzle.
In the crowd, someone who recognized Qi Huan's identity smiled and said, "It's not surprising that Prince Jing can guess it."
Prince Jing is frail and sickly, which is known in this circle.
Interestingly, who will Prince Jing give this butterfly lamp to?
The curious eyes of everyone followed, and Qi Shuo walked back with a delicate butterfly lamp.
Qi Huan looked at his older brother who was approaching, subconsciously straightened his back, and held back his pride.
After watching it for so long, those who guessed the lantern riddle gave the lanterns they won to the girl, only his elder brother gave it to his brother!
Qi Shuo walked back and stood beside Qi Huan.
After watching for a while, everyone did not see his movement, regrettably withdrew their gazes.
I thought I could see Prince Jing's crush, but it turned out that Prince Jing won this lantern for himself.
"Big Brother—"
"Um?"
"You lantern—"
"Oh, for a friend."
Qi Huan covered his heart and felt extremely wronged: "Brother, I thought it was for me!"
Qi Shuo looked strange: "Second brother, you are eighteen."
What is his brother thinking?
At this moment, a thin man came over: "Can anyone guess the riddle of the lanterns of the Liuli Palace?"
Xiaoli was surprised when he saw the man dressed up.
It turned out to be in the palace!
He immediately smiled and said respectfully, "Not yet."
The servant nodded and went back to resume his life.
"No one has guessed it yet?" Emperor Tai'an shook his head.
No one guessed last year's puzzles, and if this year's puzzles can't be guessed again, it will be a bit boring.
"Those students of Guozijian, Xinke Jinshi, didn't participate?" Emperor Tai'an was a little unconvinced.
Young people of Da Zhou, is that all it takes?
"Reporting to the emperor, there are many talented people involved, but none of them guessed correctly."
Tai'an Emperor thought for a while, and said, "Liu Chuan, pass on my word, whoever wins the glazed lantern tonight will be rewarded with a bucket of pearls."
"Yes." Liu Chuan led the order downstairs.
A sweet voice sounded: "Father, can I go and have a look?"
Qi Qiong looked at Princess Yian in surprise.
Princess Yian walked up to Emperor Tai'an and swept away the boredom just now: "My daughter sounds so interesting, I really want to see it with my own eyes, and ask the father for permission."
Emperor Tai'an frowned subconsciously: "There are too many people on the street, it's a mess."
Princess Yian raised a hand: "My daughter promises not to walk around, she will come back after reading the quiz."
Princess Yian's eagerness made Emperor Tai'an hesitate for a moment.
He can't say that he has deep feelings for this righteous daughter, but this is the child that his mother and mother likes, and Aiwu and Wu naturally love him a little bit.
"Father, please—" Princess Yian acted coquettishly.
Qi Qiong was stunned.
is the real princess, you wouldn't dare to act like a spoiled brat in front of the king of a country, right?
The backer of the Queen Mother is really strong.
Princess Yian is really confident. She is the grand-niece of the queen mother and has been with the queen mother for nine years, and the only emperor's daughter is only eight years old now. The queen mother loves her far more than the little princess, and the father is also kind to her.
Relying on others? For Princess Yi'an, who is used to being favored by the most noble woman in Da Zhou, it does not exist.
Princess Yian's request made Emperor Tai'an relieved: "Then let Qiong'er accompany you, bring a few more guards, and don't walk around."
"Thank you, Father." Princess Yi'an smiled sweetly at Emperor Tai'an and looked at Qi Qiong, "Ninghua, let's go."
Ninghua is the title of Qiqiong's county master.
For Qi Qiong, going to see and guess lantern riddles is more desirable than being in a daze in Xuande Building.
Seeing that the two went downstairs happily, the prince couldn't help but said, "Father, my son also wants to go and see."
Emperor Tai'an's face sank, and he said angrily: "You stay here honestly!"
Prince moved the corner of his mouth and dared not mention it again, feeling a little depressed in his heart.
He, the prince, really has no freedom at all!
Liu Chuan took Qiqiong and Qiqiong to the place in one step, and said loudly: "Holy decree, whoever guesses the riddle, will give you a pearl—"
