Chapter 339: Lantern Night (4)

“…… 10.11...... Eighteen, nineteen ......" The three princesses counted nervously.

When Yang Lingxiao answered the nineteenth smoothly, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva fiercely, staring at Yang Lingxiao with a small mouth, the fist on his side tightened and tightened, on the other hand, Situ Jiao seemed much calmer.

Throughout the whole process of Yang Lingxiao's guessing, Situ Jiao felt that the man next to him was a monster.

It can be said that as long as Yang Lingxiao wants to, the puzzle given by the boss does not need to be considered at all.

But he pretended to be from the first question, and he always had to think about it for a moment before he gave the answer.

Slowly, it seemed that it was just to whet everyone's appetite, and Yang Lingxiao thought about it for a while, so that he would pretend to understand suddenly, or nod, or smile slightly, and then report the mystery unhurriedly.

The stall owner had just reported the last question, and Situ Jiao knew what the riddle was after a little thought.

As long as you have lived in the countryside or have a certain amount of experience in the wilderness, you can tell the answer to this riddle.

However, Yang Lingxiao looked pensive, and the third princess was so anxious that he didn't want it, and seeing that the stall owner was about to say that the time was up, he calmly reported the answer.

"The eldest sister doesn't use a needle, the second sister doesn't use a needle, the third sister doesn't work when she lights the lamp, and the fourth sister doesn't light the lamp when she does the work." Is this puzzle difficult?

Naturally, it is not difficult, as a general who has been stationed at the border for a long time, Situ Jiao didn't believe that Yang Lingxiao would not be able to answer at all, just look at the faces of the Han brothers to understand that the two brothers had guessed the answer early in the morning.

These four sentences are exactly four small animals, corresponding to bees, spiders, fireflies and textile girls.

The three princesses living in the palace naturally can't guess it, and about half of the other people can guess it, but the person who guesses the riddle is Yang Lingxiao. Even if they knew it, they could only wait for Yang Lingxiao to come up with an answer.

When Yang Lingxiao announced the answer to the public, the stall owner sent the lamp to Yang Lingxiao's hand without saying a word.

The third princess looked at the lantern that was about to be held by Yang Lingxiao, and it was not good to reach out and grab it directly, as cute as her expression was.

Situ Jiao took the lantern from the stall owner and handed it to the third princess: "Cousin likes this lantern, so take it quickly." Look how cute this fat doll is, send it to your aunt. Let my aunt see it every day. Maybe I can recruit a chubby brother for my cousin! ”

A trace of injury flashed on Yang Lingxiao's face, but he quickly regained his original clear and spacious appearance.

It seems that this girl doesn't like this lamp, so then she will give her the lamp that she has already made and placed in the carving hall. And why care about this lamp?

In the end, Zhou Yaqi went to the river to put the lights to see whose lights floated the farthest.

As soon as this building came out, it was unanimously approved by everyone, and the third princess looked at the lamp king in her hand, and then looked at the still crowded flow of people in front of her. In the end, he had to summon the hidden guards and let the guards send the lights back to the palace first.

The Secret Guard hesitated. There were only two of them in total, and it was the saint who specially sent them to protect the safety of the third princess.

If he leaves, there will only be one secret guard left by the third princess's side, which does not meet the requirements of the royal guard at all.

In case something happens. Even if he went to do something at the request of the third princess, he couldn't escape the corresponding responsibility.

"These two are the chief and deputy commanders of the Yulin Guard, and this is the left general of the Yulin Guard. This is the prince of Dingguo, the fourth rank guard in front of the emperor. What do you think of this ...... Miss has to be by your side? Seeing the secret guard hesitate, the third princess couldn't help but stare at her beautiful eyes, and gestured to a few men beside her.

The third princess was angry, so she almost revealed her identity, but fortunately, she was a little anxious and finally got over.

But with such a reprimand, the identities of these five pairs of men and women were almost revealed.

Yang Lingxiao saw that the dark guard was still a little hesitant, so he stepped forward and whispered a few words in the dark guard's ear, and the dark guard left in advance.

For the third princess, Situ Jiao just shook her head helplessly.

Turning his head to talk to the stall owner who sold lanterns, he bought five small lanterns of different shapes, and the group went to the Qingling River at the end of the lantern street under the protection of a group of guards and maids.

The Qingling River crosses Nanling Kyoto, which can be regarded as the mother river of Nanling Kyoto, and the river of Qingling Ling passes through the city slowly.

If the spring wind blows the willows, the banks of the Qingling River are a good place for spring outing.

There are a lot of people who come to Qingling River to put lanterns, most of them are young couples or young couples like Situ Jiao, and there are lanterns lit on the river from far and near, making Qingling River a veritable river of lights.

The lantern display has long been a reserved program for the Lantern Festival for young boys and girls in Kyoto, so in order to prevent slipping, the government has long been covered with straw mats by the government.

However, for the safety of the girls, the five young men still carefully helped their fiancées down the embankment, and the maids beside the girls carefully followed them down the embankment with only lanterns.

The five girls lined up on the bank of the river near the water, took the lanterns from their respective maids' hands, and the lanterns with the candles swayed in the wind, and the candles were bright and dark to cause the girls to exclaim softly.

Lifting their skirts slightly, the girls squatted down and gently lowered the lantern into the river.

Situ Jiao and Han Xiuya both have kung fu in their hands, so they are naturally the most stable, and they put the lantern into the water steadily, and as soon as they send it so gently, the lantern slowly drifts downstream with the river.

The third princess has an impatient temperament, and although there is some steady help around her, she still fails to master the balance when putting the lanterns.

As soon as the lantern entered the water, it was a little crooked, and before she could let go of it, the lantern sank slowly, so anxious that the third princess stomped her feet.

Zhou Yaqi is a meticulous person, but there is a reckless Situ Yang beside her, so her lantern is not much better than the third princess, even worse than the third princess's, just let go of the lantern and fell crookedly, only so angry that Zhou Yaqi punched Situ Yang twice, and Situ Yang kept asking for mercy while laughing.

Although the strength in Sun Qian's hand was not stable enough, there was a meticulous and considerate Han Pengcheng by her side, and the lantern belonging to Sun Qian was the last to set off, and she set off a little slowly.

Although some went away gently, and some fell on the spot, everyone's interest was not low, and they were not annoyed by the disadvantage of the lanterns, and the group returned to Tianyi Restaurant with laughter.

The third princess can't spend the night outside, although today whether it is the city gate or the palace gate is open all night, but when the time is approaching, Situ Jiao still urges the third princess to return to the palace, Concubine Hui is pregnant, and the fetus is not completely stable, at this time can not let Concubine Hui worry too much.

Although the third princess was still unsatisfied, she still obediently returned to the palace.

Several families also went home and did not mention it. (To be continued.) )
