Duanmu Xuan pulled Situ Yan and his party to turn around and walk towards the other end of the market, and the Seventh Prince coaxed the fifth princess to go towards Wangyue Tower. Mochizuki Tower is one of the most famous restaurants in the capital, and it is the best place to enjoy the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Duanmu Xuanyuan also planned to take Situ Mansion and his party to Wangyue Tower, but he ate some snacks in Situ Mansion just now, and he was not hungry at this time, so he thought about walking around the market again. And Situ Yan is because she also has a shop in the capital, and she just wants to take this opportunity to see how the business of the merchant who rents her shop is, but she plans to take it back for her own use after it passes. After all, instead of renting to others, it is better to do some business yourself and earn more.

"Yan'er, if you go any further, there will be no light market! Why don't we go to the Moon Tower and sit down? It's also a great place to enjoy the lanterns! Where could Duanmu Xuan think of Situ Yan's purpose, seeing that she had walked two streets in a row, she still felt a little unfinished, afraid that she would be tired and cold.

Situ Yan was also a little hungry, and asked the Li brothers and Situ Jin, and several people also felt good, so they followed Duanmu Xuan to Wangyue Tower.

Duanmu Xuan originally wanted to ask Situ Yan to enjoy the lantern alone, but he didn't want not only Situ Jin to follow, but also the four brothers of the Li family and Situ Li. sighed, and resigned himself to leading the way for a few people.

"Moon Tower" is one of the four famous restaurants in the capital, and the Lantern Festival will be held here every year, and the first person can not only get prizes, but also attract the literati to move the capital from now on. Even after Emperor Wu moved the capital, there are no longer only literati fighting poetry, and there are even many talented women. What's more, in order to promote his name, he deliberately came from other counties and counties, just to be able to compete for this common name.

Duanmu Xuan followed Xiao Er and led everyone to the private room on the second floor, and before they were seated, they began to introduce themselves to Situ Yan, "Yan'er." I heard that the prize of this year's 'Moon Tower' Cultural Fight will be a glass lamp, which seems to be a foreign product! I've never seen it! Why don't you and me participate in this cultural fight? "Duanmu Xuan asked Mo Feng to come one step earlier, so he is very clear about this.

"I'm a civilian. What are you doing for this false name? Just skip it! However, Ziheng and his brothers, as well as his brothers and cousins, can give it a try, even if they can't compete for the first place, they can have a good time. It's good to have a long insight! "That's what Situ Yan doesn't like the most. Naturally, she would not be interested, but she could see that Situ Jin and Situ Li's eyes were shining, and they were full of interest, so she added the last sentence.

"I and the second child are not good at this writing, let's let the junior and the fourth write it!" Li Dalang and Li Erlang waved their hands and shook their heads together, they knew their catties.

Situ Yan didn't force it, this was originally entertainment, and turned her head to look at San Lang and Shiro. Ask the two for their opinions with their eyes.

"It's okay to try, it's just that I'm just a little bit of a learner. I can't compare to Brother Situ's quick thinking and clever writing! Saburo knew his level of learning, and these words were not intended to compliment.

"Third brother, we don't compete for fame and fortune for literary competitions, we just entertain ourselves for cultivating sentiments, and it is luck to write Ya Neng, and write with a vulgar smile, what's wrong with adding joy to this festival?" Situ Yan's words made San Lang and Shiro also a little tempted, after all, they had studied with Mr. Gongsun for so long, and looking at Situ Jin and Duanmu Xuan's posture, it was obvious that the two of them were going to participate in this cultural fighting meeting, and they didn't want to lose.

The dishes are all on the table, the table is full of tea and wine, and before Situ Yan can move the chopsticks, he heard the sound of gongs and drums from the first floor of the Moon Tower, "Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and talented women, the owner of the Moon Tower, Lou Shang, welcome to the 'Moon Tower' and participate in the annual 'Wendou Meeting'!" With the voice of the landlord Lou Shang, there was also movement in the private rooms on the second floor. But it's all the minions around the master, running out to see what is going on.

"This guy has an interesting name, 'Upstairs?' I guess if he had a younger brother, he wouldn't call it 'downstairs', would he? Situ Yan made a rare joke, which caused a burst of snickering from Duanmu Xuan and the Li family brothers. It's just that the people outside are listening to Lou Shang's speech at this moment, but no one notices them.

"This year's Wendou Meeting, the first prize is a treasure of 'Moon Tower', glazed lantern, this lamp is when the villain went to sea, in a state and obtained, the style is unique, unique, the guests on the second floor do not worry, wait a little bit The villain will personally bring the lantern, please appreciate it!"

Lou Shang paused for a moment, and saw that everyone's eyes were attracted by him, and with a proud wave, he asked people to lift the prize up, "Everyone, please look, this is the glass lantern!" ”

"Wow!" Although Situ Yan didn't see it, from the pushing sound of some tables and chairs, and people's exclamations, it can also be known that this lantern must be a superb, and she was also curious, but she didn't get up, holding a teacup, and taking a small sip.

Li Shilang was still a little childish, and he couldn't sit still at this moment, but the table was full of people who didn't move, and he was embarrassed to run out to see it by himself.

"Fourth brother, if you want to see it, go and see it! Everyone has a sense of curiosity! Situ Yan whispered to Shiro.

"No, didn't the building say it yet, I'll send it over later, I'll watch it with Xiao Wu!" Shiro blushed and was a little embarrassed, but Situ Yan smiled indifferently.

Duanmu Xuan didn't care about these prizes at all, he was bent on performing in front of his beloved.

After the exclamation voice, Lou Shang's voice sounded again, "Everyone, who will win this prize, it depends on your ability, today's Wendou Meeting, with the word 'spring' as the title, give a poem, the time is a pillar of incense, a pillar of incense will show all the verses, for the evaluation of everyone seated, the one who spends the most wins." If you have no opinions, then the cultural fight will begin, light incense! ”

With a word of incense, the entire Moon Tower fell silent. The guests were expected to think deeply about the bright moon, some bowed their heads and wrote hard, and some sang quietly, in short, both men and women, all of them were busy fighting for this title. Even Li Dalang and Li Erlang were bowing their heads and pondering, although they did not participate in the cultural fight, they still thought about it in their hearts. On the contrary, there was only Situ Yan in the whole building, leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks, since she didn't want to participate, naturally she wouldn't waste that brain cell.

But this silence was soon broken by a sharp roar. "You are blind, you don't even know the princess, this princess said she wanted it. Do you still dare not give it? ”

"The princess spares her life, this lantern is the prize of the first name, and the 'Moon Tower' is also the only one, if you take it, the villain really can't explain to the guests on this floor? Ask the princess to be gracious, please be gracious to the princess! Hearing this, Lou Shang must have broken his liver and intestines at this time, and he never thought of it. The fifth princess will run to his Moon Tower, and will not participate in the Wendou Meeting, but will rob it openly. He had already displayed the lanterns in front of people, even more than half of the private room on the second floor, if this princess was allowed to occupy it, how could he explain it to so many guests. Losing trust with so many distinguished guests. In the future, how will he still have a foothold in the capital in this Moon Tower? The more I thought about it, the more I hated myself for why I didn't find out that this aunt came to the door earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have made such a fuss and put myself in a dilemma.

"Leave the lanterns, you can go, otherwise this princess will burn your Moon Tower!" The fifth princess has a strong desire for exclusivity, this lantern style is novel, she likes it very much, how can she let it be given to others.

"I heard that the emperor attaches the most importance to etiquette and faithfulness. But they don't want their children to take it by force in this hall! This is a loss of the majesty of the heavenly family, if the emperor knows. I don't know if the princess can keep her name! The voice was cold, and the harshness and sarcasm in the words were heard. And the voice turned out to be from next door to Situ Yan, and it was still a woman's voice.

Situ Yan nodded secretly, feeling that this woman is also a rare person, she even knows the identity of the other party, and dares to speak out, which shows that this person's identity must not be low. No matter how low it is, he is also a close minister of the Son of Heaven, who is so bold and provokes the authority of the Heavenly Family.

"Who? Stand up for Princess Ben! ”

"I don't know where the fake princess came from, to make trouble in this Moon Tower?"

"You're a fake, this princess is the queen's own mother! The princess from Wu Guoyan, come here, take this guy who doesn't know what to do, and give it to this princess! "The fifth princess was really angry, and directly ordered her guards to arrest people.

The woman in the next room didn't seem to be afraid, and still said in a cold voice, "Today is the Lantern Festival, and the palace has its own palace banquet, how can the princess appear here?" Don't you try to cling to the heavenly family, and you don't know how you died? ”

"Don't do it yet!" Where did the fifth princess get such anger, the seventh prince was going to stop him, but it was too late, and the Ouchi guards had already rushed out of the private room and went straight to the room where the voice was made.

"Stop!" Situ Yan was listening interestingly, but she didn't want Situ Jin to get up and open the door, and stopped the Ouchi guards who rushed over.

"Hah! Which one is this singing? Situ Yan didn't expect her brother to stand up for the woman next door. Afraid that he would suffer, he also got up and stood behind Situ Jin. Duanmu Xuan, of course, was a protective beauty, and he also stood behind Situ Jin.

"Brother, do you know that girl?" Situ Yan has only one explanation, that is, Situ Jin must know this sharp-tongued young lady.

"It's Mr. Gongsun's granddaughter, Miss Gongsun Yu!" Now Situ Yan understands that since Mr. Gongsun is his brother's mentor, of course his brother will not die without help, but these five princesses are not easy to mess with, not to mention that this princess is still angry now.

Situ Yan's mind was running fast, thinking of various ways to resolve this crisis. Just when she was anxious for Situ, Duanmu Xuan's voice sounded behind her, "Yan'er, don't worry, I won't let that barbaric princess hurt you a bit." Although this voice sounded a little playful, Situ Yan felt that this voice was extremely reliable at this time.

"Thank you for this son's help, but this matter is because of the little woman, and I don't dare to affect others!" Gongsun Yu also sneaked out today, originally just wanted to participate in the Wendou meeting, extinguish the prestige of these self-proclaimed mediocre talents, and also teach them some lessons, I didn't think about it much, but this princess is too arrogant, and she has never been afraid of the royal people since she was a child, after all, her grandfather is the emperor. That's why I spoke up. I didn't expect that someone would confront the Heavenly Family in order to protect her, and I couldn't help but be curious about this person. waved his hand and motioned for the personal slave to go and see who this person was.

The door of the room was opened, and Situ Yan saw a little maid poking her head down, and before Situ Jin could clasp his fists and salute, the other party retreated. "Miss, it's Situ Gongzi, the student of the ancestor!"

"How could it be him?" Gongsun Yu was also surprised by this.

The guards who were stopped by Situ Jin recognized Duanmu Xuan standing behind Situ Jin at a glance, and they didn't dare to make a move for a while, after all, Situ Jin was still standing in front of Duanmu Xuan at this time, in their opinion, this person's status should still be above Duanmu Xuan, but they had never seen this person.

The fifth princess also heard Situ Jin's voice, but she was stopped by the imperial brother at this time, and she couldn't move at all, so she had to shout angrily, "Don't do it yet, a group of useless wine bags and rice bags!" ”

These guards are also very helpless, who are guards in the palace I don't know, only those who are punished or not treated by the officials will be assigned to the five princesses, these five princesses don't treat them as inappropriate, and they will scold and abuse at every turn, and even lynch them. Some of the guards would rather be punished than serve as an errand for the fifth princess.

Situ Yan saw that these people were also difficult to ride a tiger, and she looked helpless, but such a stalemate was not a way, so she took a step forward, blocked in front of Situ Jin, and hugged her fist towards the room of the fifth princess, and then said, "I waited to come to Wangyue Tower, but it was just a temporary pleasure of floating white pen greed, how could the princess's fairy appearance and grace and generosity be the one who took it by force, I think it was the landlord who misunderstood, it really shouldn't be." Thinking that the emperor attaches the most importance to courtesy, righteousness and shame, he will never teach such a dragon and a phoenix girl. You say yes, right? ”

At this time, Lou Shang, who was kneeling in the corridor, looked up at Situ Yan with some puzzlement, he didn't understand what Situ Yan meant, but he only froze for a moment, and still followed his words, "Yes, it's all a villain misunderstanding!" ”

"That's it! In the following, I often hear people mention that the five princesses have become famous all over the world! In the inferior class to be able to read the princess's masterpiece here, it is really a blessing for three lives, the princess means to think that this name is determined to get, thinking that this lantern does not need to be sent to, it is really for the landlord to consider, to avoid the trouble of the landlord! ”

There are already people downstairs who are dissatisfied with these five princesses, but their status is low, even if they are dissatisfied, they dare not speak out, and some people are applauding Gongsun Yu. But he only shouted a few words in his heart. How could anyone dare to make such a big statement to Situ Yan like praise and disparagement.

And everyone in the private room on the second floor was holding back their laughter at this time, almost holding back their internal injuries. I don't know who this person is, he is so bold, dare to fool the royal people like this, no one in this capital knows, these five princesses are notoriously unlearned, if it weren't for the daughter born to the queen, I'm afraid there would be no one to even look at her and salute her.

Gongsun Yu was even more surprised, he didn't expect this person to scold without dirty words, and he turned the crisis that was close to the door into invisibility.

Only the fifth princess herself didn't hear the squeezing and ridicule in Situ Yan's words, and thought that her name was really so loud, and her eyebrows fluttered at the imperial brother.

Mu Yi couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground at this time, how could he have such a stupid sister. However, there is still a little secret joy in his heart, after all, this sister is from the queen, and she was viciously rectified by Situ Yan, and he has no opinion.

The landlord almost hugged Situ Yan's thigh and cried at this time, wiping his tears and kowtowing vigorously to the room of the fifth princess, "The fifth princess is so sympathetic to the villain, the villain is ashamed, this lantern is too big, it takes up a lot of space, the villain puts this lantern downstairs first, the princess is overwhelmed, and the villain should be served with both hands!" ”

The fifth princess was praised like this, although she was still a little angry in her heart, but she also knew that if she continued to make trouble, she would really lose the face of her family, and even the queen mother would not let her go, of course, she was still very confident in her knowledge, and with a wave of her hand, she called someone to bring back the guards, and the crisis was finally temporarily resolved.

Situ Jin pulled Situ Yan back to the house and sat down, only then did he feel a chill in his back and get scared. Thinking that because of his recklessness just now, he almost had a conflict with the princess, and even almost affected the little sister, and he was even more guilty and didn't even dare to raise his head.

Situ Yan had other thoughts at this time, Gongsun Yu was born in a famous family, and he was very brave, and his brother could defend this person like this, it can be seen that even if the two have no love, they also know each other, if such a person comes to be the head of Situ Mansion, she can also be more assured.

Situ didn't know that he had been calculated by his little sister. And Duanmu Xuan's eyes were full of Situ Yan at this time, his Yan'er was always so smart, and in a few words, the crisis that had entered the door was invisible, but the beloved woman was so strong, she didn't need his protection at all, and she was still a little lost.
