"It's a 'yao' word!"

Inspired by Qin Feng, Xie Ning finally got a knack for guessing riddles. After pondering the riddle, she came up with the answer, but because of a moment of joy, her voice was slightly raised, attracting the attention of the neighbors on the left and right.

Xie Ning touched his nose, lowered his volume slightly, looked at Qin Feng and said, "I guessed correctly, right?" ”

Qin Feng smiled slightly, "I also think it's this word." If you're not convinced, you might as well wait. ”

No one on the stage handed the paper yet. After about half a cup of tea, everyone left the case one after another. Before he could finish checking them one by one, the man's voice rang out, "The eighth light, Xu Gongzi guessed it!" The answer to the puzzle is the word 'ya'! ”

Guessed right! Xie Ning turned his head side happily, met Qin Feng's gaze, and praised: "Brother Ziyue is really powerful!" ”

Qin Feng glanced at her with a smile, then turned his gaze to the high platform, and said softly, "Young Master Xu? When there was such a number one person in the capital, I don't know. ”

Xie Ning followed his gaze and easily recognized a person by a lantern, but saw a scholar in Tsing Yi standing indifferently, with a fair face, and he was not more than a weak crown.

"I've guessed the eighth, why hasn't anyone guessed the lamp they set earlier?" Xie Ning was puzzled.

"The latter two should also be available," Qin Feng's eyes flashed, "But maybe they have changed the rules this year, and they may want to make money through this." ”

According to the rules of Yunzhilou, every time you guess the lamp, you have to pay fifty taels of silver. If you wait until the fact to announce the results, you will make more money than you would say earlier. It's no surprise that they did.

"By the way, Brother Ziyue, do you know how the results of this lantern selection will be revealed? It's not up to them to point it out afterwards. ”

Hearing the meaning of her words, Qin Feng smiled slightly, pointed to a colored silk hanging from the beam on the third floor in the center, and explained for her: "The number of the lamp has long been written on it, and when the results are announced in previous years, they will be taken down for inspection. “

Xie Ning nodded, looked at the lanterns on the stage again, and secretly guessed which one of the ten lanterns was chosen.

***

The ninth lantern riddle has been released, and after Xie Ning guessed the answer under Qin Feng's prompting, he was about to look up to see the response of everyone on the high platform, but his eyes were attracted by one place, and he couldn't help but let out a soft cry in his throat, "Huh? ”

"What's wrong?" Qin Feng heard the movement and asked sideways.

"It's okay," Xie Ning fixed his eyes, looked at the colorful silk hanging on the beam again, and secretly said that he was dazzled. There is no wind in summer, and the colorful silk hangs there steadily, how can it shake?

Seeing this, Qin Feng didn't say anything more, but his eyes followed Xie Ning's line of sight, thoughtful.

"The ninth lamp, the double star Tanabata will be queqiao, the riddle is the word 'narrative', Miss Gu guessed it!"

As usual, this guy reported the result, and Xie Ning was not surprised that Gu Qingyun guessed the result of another question. Just as she was waiting for the last riddle, the man's voice suddenly came, resounding in the Yunzhi Building-"Colored silk is proof, Miss Gu guessed correctly!" ”

The meaning of this guess is very different from that of Fang Cai. The hanging colored silk had been removed, and Xie Ning couldn't help but be a little happy when he looked at the big ink on it.

In order to guess the lamp, Gu Qingyun also spent five hundred taels of silver tonight, and if this promise was made for others to go, her luck would be too bad.

"One lamp for one promise," the old man took a white hibiscus lamp from the maid's hand, and respectfully handed it to the red-robed woman opposite, the volume was just enough to cover the sound of discussion in the building, "Miss Gu, the owner of our Yunzhilou is on the third floor, since you have this promise, you might as well carry the lantern and meet our host." ”

"Thank you to the shopkeeper for telling me, can you let the little girl go down and explain to her friends first, and then go."

"Miss Gu, please."

The two did not lower their voices when they were talking, and Xie Ning had a keen sense of hearing, and he heard what they said clearly. Thinking of her hidden thoughts, Xie Ning looked at the red-clothed girl holding a silver lamp in front of her, and did not pretend to think that the other party was coming to "confess" to her.

"Your Highness, Miss Xie, I think it will be a while before I can return home, so I won't go with you." Gu Qingyun nodded to the Wei brothers and sisters who came later, and then turned to look at Qin Feng again, "It's even deeper, although there is no curfew tonight." Your Highness should also go back early, lest you be contaminated with the cold and hurt your body. ”

Qin Feng smiled and said noncommittally, "You go." ”

"Who is the boy who is sitting in the same place with Miss Gu? I'm not familiar with it, have you ever seen it? ”

"I vaguely heard that Miss Gu called him 'Your Highness', could it be that this person is the prince?"

"This young man, who is not 'His Royal Highness', should be the prince who is now the king. I was fortunate enough to meet King Xuan and King Xin, and I thought that the highness in front of me should be King Qi or King An. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Prayer is old, this person should be His Royal Highness King An."

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness King An, and now that he hasn't left, do we want to come forward to pay a visit?"

Gu Qingyun had already left, but the surrounding discussions had not stopped, and hearing that this group of literati had guessed Qin Feng's identity, Xie Ning reminded softly: "Your Highness, someone over there wants to come to see you." ”

Qin Feng looked in the direction she was pointing, and couldn't help frowning, looking a little impatient, "It's just that I'm out to relax, and someone is going to spoil the fun." Now that the guessing lights are over, I'll go out and take shelter. Do you want to go along? ”

"Okay," Shainin agreed first, "I still want to go to the west of the city." ”

Wei Chengcheng hesitated: "Brother Xiao is resting upstairs." My brother and I stayed here to watch over him, and I will not be with you. ”

Xie Ning's mind turned, and he was about to persuade him, but Wei Qingyang took the opportunity to continue: "When I guessed the lamp, Xiao Gongzi's face was not very good-looking, I think he was unwell. ”

"Is it serious?" Xie Ning hurriedly swallowed the words that had not yet come out, and said, "Do you want me-"

"His Royal Highness King An is worthy of being a noble man of the sky, and he is really extraordinary!"

With a burst of admiration, Xie Ning's words were cut off in half, and he hurriedly turned his head and looked at a group of literati walking towards them, and he couldn't take much care of it for a while, so he pulled up Qin Feng, who was unhappy, and walked out, leaving only one sentence - "Then we'll go first!" ”

***

The third floor of the Yunzhi Building

Gu Qingyun stood in front of the door, walked in at the signal of the money shopkeeper, and silently looked at the furnishings in the room.

The door of the room was gently closed, Gu Qingyun was not panicked, her eyes fell on the figure behind the screen, she quietly looked at the Qingyun brocade boots exposed under the screen, and walked forward slowly, "The little girl came with a lamp, and she really asked for something, please promise." ”

"I don't know what Miss Gu is asking for?"

"What I ask for is to make His Royal Highness King An's trip to suppress bandits come true."
