"It's for self-preservation, you know." Xiao Xuan winked at her.

Due to the departure of Chen and Mu Jinge, the surrounding crowd gradually dispersed. Mu Huanyan continued to walk forward, because there was the largest lantern market not far away, and there was a huge lantern hanging at the top.

When Mu Huanyan got closer, the lantern turned out to be the map of the four countries he had drawn, and it was made into a screen-style lantern.

Xiao Xuan also found this lantern and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to become the object of worship in the whole city now, this lantern should be the biggest lottery this year." ”

Because there are festivals with lanterns every year, they are made according to the most popular and popular things and things, so it can be seen that the map screen of the four countries drawn by Mu Huanyan has been spread in the capital, and everyone knows it.

Of course, this commemorative lantern, many people want, hanging at the highest place of the lamp, naturally not who wants to get, the lantern has always been free of money, but you must answer the riddle correctly to get.

Every woman in Shengguo likes to come to see the lanterns, just to enjoy the heart of her lover to send the lanterns to herself, Du Guanyue is no exception, on the dragon boat, she has always invited Ling Ran to take her to see the lanterns.

The emperor and the queen had already promised their family affairs, and they also agreed that the two of them would go to play together, Ling Ran didn't want to go, but he couldn't withstand the persuasion of the emperor and the queen, so he and Du Wanyue also came over.

When she arrived at the scene, Du Guanyue immediately regretted it, because she saw that the lantern at the top was about Mu Huanyan.

Ling Ran stopped and looked at the lamp. Smiling, he must get that light tonight.

"Prince, I suddenly don't want to see the lanterns, let's go to the front and put the river lanterns."

"Guanyue, I think this year's lanterns are quite interesting, let's join in the fun here." With that, Ling Mo took a few more steps forward and grabbed the front.

The boss of the lantern festival stood on the stage, watched as there were more and more onlookers, and said with a smile: "The lantern broadcast will start now." Each lamp has a riddle on it. Whoever guessed the lamp was whomever it was. ”

At this time, a few people began to make a fuss.

"Boss, the riddle on the biggest lantern hasn't been posted yet, we want that one."

The boss smiled and said, "Everyone knows the rules of previous years, if you want to get this lamp." Ten riddles must be guessed at the same time. Let's ask for the riddle of this lamp again. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is extraordinary. It is a map of the four countries once drawn by the emperor and the lord of Heyue County, which is very commemorative, and the lights fall on whose house today. Let's wait and see. ”

At this point, many people jumped to give it a try.

"Tut-tut, it's really hot, county lord, you see, everyone admires you very much, many people want to get that lantern, I know you can definitely guess the lantern riddle, but please raise your noble hand, don't participate, don't use your brain, guess the lantern riddle and other brain-consuming things to me."

"Okay, today I'll also see how you beat the talents."

"Don't worry, I swear to win." Xiao Xuan said confidently.

At this moment, Du Guanyue looked at the hot atmosphere of the scene, and her heart was even more dissatisfied, and she continued to persuade Ling Ran, "Prince, so many people want to fight for this lantern, you are the prince, for the sake of grace, I won't rob them of it." ”

"Do you mean that Prince Ben is not graceful to snatch this lantern? The lantern has always been obtained by the capable, who guessed who the lantern riddle is, this is not a robbery, do you understand? Du Guanyue listened to these words with some anger, and felt very uncomfortable, did he really care so much about Mu Huanyan's things?

That's right, Ling Ran really cared, he looked at the lantern, and he was also determined to get it.

The boss of the lantern continued to smile and said: "Everyone look at the lantern riddles on the scene, if you can guess more than ten, you can go on stage to try, if you can't guess ten, please don't come up, the stage is limited, you can't stand so many people." ”

After these words were released, some people sighed repeatedly, every lantern riddle is very difficult, and it is necessary to guess ten, and the riddle of the largest lamp has not yet been posted, it must be very difficult.

However, in order to get the lanterns, someone still stood up, and more than a dozen people came on the stage in an instant, of course, Ling Ran was also about to go on stage, but Du Guanyue stopped him.

"Prince, there are too many people here, it's really not safe for you to stand with a group of civilians like this."

"There are palace guards everywhere here, so there's nothing to worry about."

Ling Ran turned his head and was about to go on stage, but he found that the second prince was already standing on the stage, holding a fan in his hand and shaking it in front of him, dressed like a scholar.

Mu Huanyan raised his fist at him and motioned for him to cheer.

Ling Ran followed the second prince's line of sight, and found that Mu Huanyan was standing at the front of the stage, and thought of the second prince's blatant proposal to marry Huanyan in Mu Mansion, so he didn't think about it, and walked directly to the stage.

As soon as he came on stage, Mu Huanyan and Xiao Xuan on the stage both saw him.

Mu Huanyan was very surprised, she didn't expect Ling Ran to rush to the stage to grab the lanterns.

Xiao Xuan said very politely: "Big brother, you are also here to grab the lanterns?" ”

"The second brother can rob it, why can't I rob it?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, but they had their own thoughts.

Next, the lantern boss began to screen one by one, the first guessed lantern riddle, the second person can not guess, can only guess the others, so that along the way, many people have also been eliminated, and in the end there are only three left. One is Ling Ran, the other is Xiao Xuan, and the other is Yang Gongzi who poured a glass of wine for him that day in Mufu Mu Huanyan, in fact, Yang Gongzi's full name is Yang Yi, a very famous talent in Beijing, it is said that he can write at the age of three and poetry at the age of seven, and he is the eldest son of the Marquis of Ruyang.

He naturally knew the crown prince and the second prince, and in the last link, the three of them stood together, Yang Yi smiled at the two of them, and didn't say much, he couldn't expose the identity of the prince lightly, after all, there are so many people now, and Yang Yi is also a smart person.

The last lantern riddle, the lantern boss held it in his hand, gave the three of them a copy, and said with a smile: "Then please write down the riddle yourself, and you will announce who is the final winner later, please." ”

There are three tables prepared on the stage, and each table has a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but fortunately, the lantern boss doesn't know how to snatch his lantern is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Second Prince, if you know, you must be scared and your legs will be weak.

The three of them all opened the riddle in their hands, which read: The most difficult lantern riddle in history - playing a four-character idiom.

Seeing this riddle, the three of them couldn't help frowning, Mu Huanyan looked at this scene, and thought, what kind of riddle did the lantern boss give, which made such an excellent three people look embarrassed.

Their expressions aroused the curiosity of the audience even more, and they all wanted to know the answer and waited quietly.

After a while, the three of them waved their pens, wrote down their answers, left the table, and handed the answers to the lantern boss, who held three notes in his hand and waved his hand to the people on the stage, "Now that their answers have come out, the mystery is about to be revealed, do you want to know?" ”

"Yes." The crowd shouted.

"Good, good, good." The lantern boss shouted a few times, and then people pasted the originally written lantern riddle on the lantern on the screen of the Shikoku map.

The most difficult lantern riddle in history - playing a four-character idiom.

Everyone exclaimed, what kind of mystery should this be? Even Mu Huanyan was stunned for a while, thinking for a long time before slowly nodding.

Everyone's curiosity has been picked to the highest point, and the lantern boss said: "Next, I will announce the answer, the mystery given by No. 1 is ......" The lantern boss deliberately paused for a while.

"What is it?" There were people on the stage shouting, it was very lively, in this world, there are the most curious people, Mu Huanyan can be regarded as having seen it.

The lantern boss took the note and flipped it over to everyone and said, "The answer given by No. 1 is a blank piece of paper, so he means that there is no answer." ”

The number one was the number that Ling Ran got, and Mu Huanyan shook his head.

The people in the audience talked a lot, what is the most difficult riddle in history, there should be no answer, because there is one of the most difficult now, maybe there will be more difficult ones in the future......

Of course, the lantern boss will not announce the answer now, he took out a second note, and said with a smile: "Next, let's take a look at the answer given by No. 2." The lantern boss took out the note and flipped it over, "The answer given by Number Two is that no one knows. ”

The second number is the number that Xiao Xuan got.

Everyone in the audience laughed, indeed this answer seems to be reasonable, the most difficult thing in history, of course, no one knows.

Someone then clamored and said, "Boss, is this the answer correct?" ”

The lantern boss continued: "Don't worry, everyone, wait until we read the answer given by the third number, and then announce it." At this time, the boss pulled out the third note, turned it over, and said in a loud voice: "The answer of the third is to be puzzled." ”

I am puzzled, it seems to make sense, compared with these three answers, everyone thinks it makes sense, but what is the real answer to the key, everyone wants to know.

"Whose answer is correct, number one, number two, or number three?"

The lantern boss said: "Our riddle is the most difficult lantern riddle in history - a four-word idiom, which is written very clearly, and the answer is a four-word idiom, so the answer to No. 1 is a blank piece of paper, which is naturally wrong, therefore, No. 1 is out first." ”

"It's not fair, it's not fair! This is the most difficult riddle in history, since it is the most difficult, of course, there is no answer, so the answer to No. 1 is not necessarily wrong. ”

"That's it, that's it."

Many people have been upset about No. 1, and discussions have come and gone.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, don't be impatient." The lantern boss calmed the atmosphere of the scene.

Of course, Ling Ran didn't agree that her answer was wrong, and she was still standing in place, but Du Guanyue was a little happy in her heart, she didn't want Ling Ran to get the lantern. (To be continued......)
