Following the hope of the pro-soldier, Li Ye found that the few people who had been separated from him and the others were stopping outside a restaurant on the street diagonally opposite. At this time, in the open space outside the restaurant, a lot of bamboo poles were used to build shelves, about eight feet high. The shelves are filled with all kinds of lanterns, large and small, but the most delicate ones are the most varied, with various patterns painted on them, and a colorful silk silk fluttering under each lantern.

Li Ye and the others hurriedly squeezed over, and Xiaoying saw Li Ye, who was squeezing over in the crowd, and hurriedly waved his hand there. When Li Ye came closer, he found that the two Emperor Sisters and Seventh Emperor Sisters who were worried were guessing lantern riddles, how could they look like they were scattered, which made him and the others worry in vain.

In addition to Princess Anhua's daughters, there are also several pro-soldiers who are looking around vigilantly, including Liu Kui. Liu Kui was the one who covered Princess Changning's escape from Chang'an before, but when Li Ye expanded his personal team, he was asked by Li Ye to come over, and now he is a captain.

Although Li Ye is young, the age of the soul in this body is not young, and he can naturally see that this Liu Kui admires his seventh sister, but the other party does not dare to show it. This is also normal, Liu Kui before was just a halberd under the ninth grade, and now although he was canonized as the captain of the eighth grade because of his meritorious service in protecting the princess, this is just a loose rank, and it was okay in the early Tang Dynasty, but it is basically useless now.

Li Ye will not agree to marry his sister to him just because the other party saved his sister. Although his family is a generation of Jin Wuwei, after all, the conditions are too poor, no matter how bad Li Shu is, she is also the sister of the current emperor, the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and even if Li Ye agrees, Li Yi will not agree.

However, Li Ye can give the other party a chance, if the other party can make great achievements in the future, he naturally doesn't mind matching the two, if the other party does nothing all his life, then he is not to blame.

"Seventh, are you here? Come and guess the lantern riddle, this lantern riddle is too difficult to guess, and your seventh sister and I haven't guessed it for a long time. ”

Seeing Li Ye, Princess Anhua directly pulled him in front of a lantern, fortunately he reacted quickly enough, otherwise he would really fall down, it would be a real joke.

"Second sister, I've been looking for you for a long time, we are looking for you there, but you are guessing lantern riddles here, is it appropriate for you?" Li Ye stabilized his body and complained unceremoniously.

"Old Seven, don't be angry, your seventh sister likes this lantern very much, hurry up and help guess." Princess Anhua said coquettishly, and then put a colorful ribbon full of words in front of him, "Look at what this mystery is?" It's too hard to guess if you type a word. ”

"What lantern riddle stumped you?" Li Ye still knows a little bit about lantern riddles, so he wants to see what kind of lantern riddles he knows, but when he saw the lantern riddles, he was also stunned, "Boundless falling wood Xiao Xiaoxia?" Typing? ”

"This little brother, are you deliberately making things difficult, is there an answer to this lantern riddle?"

"It's just, we've been guessing for a long time, but it's not right, I think you deliberately don't want to give us this lamp."

"That's it, do you Tianxiangju want to be Laipi!"

Seeing so many people coaxing, the young brother next to him was a little sweaty, maybe this scene made him a little uncontrollable, and quickly explained, "Ladies and gentlemen, this lantern is the best lamp in our Tianxiangju, made of extremely precious silk, and the painting on it is painted by a famous local painter himself, which is the treasure of all the lanterns in our Tianxiangju tonight."

The cost alone is worth dozens of dollars, so just guessing the riddle can't take the lamp. If you want to take this lamp, guessing the lantern riddle is only the first step, and then the second step is to go to the first floor of Tianxiangju to participate in the poetry conference, and make a poem related to the Yuan Festival in a stick of incense to enter the second floor to participate in the final round, and this lamp is one of the prizes for the leader. ”

Hearing this person's explanation, the people next to him realized that this lantern was not so easy to get, and they heard that they also had to compose poems, although poems were acceptable, but many people still shy away.

"Why didn't you just say you still have these requirements?" Princess Anhua said angrily.

"This girl, you didn't ask just now!" The little brother said aggrievedly.

"Why are you like this..." Princess Anhua's face was a little gloomy, usually others scolded her, but she didn't expect this to happen now, Li Ye hurriedly pulled the place, "Second sister, forget it, the lamp belongs to someone else, come according to other people's rules." ”

"Hmph, spare you this time." Princess Anhua looked at the little brother in front of her with an unkind expression, and stood aside unhappily.

This little brother of Tianxiangju is also a little embarrassed, although he is just an officer, but his eyesight is not bad, although the girl in front of him is dressed in men's clothes, but the clothes and fabrics are of the highest quality, plus he goes out with his entourage, obviously not an ordinary family.

"Your riddle is a Japanese word, isn't it?" Li Ye said quite confidently.

This little brother was obviously stunned, he didn't expect Li Ye to solve the mystery so quickly, and of course he was also annoyed that the other party directly said to solve the mystery, "It's a Japanese word, this son is very intelligent, and he guessed the mystery so quickly." However, if you want to get this lamp, you need to enter it to compose a poem to enter the next round of finals. ”

"Second sister, seventh sister, eighth sister, let's go in together and see what Xiangju is doing this day." Li Ye wanted to shake the folding fan, but he thought that it was early spring, so he forgot it.

"Seventh brother, let's forget it, we don't know how to compose poems, so don't make jokes." Hearing that she still had to compose poems, Princess Li Shu of Changning hesitated a little, and she also knew the situation of these people, except for Pei Rong, the chief of the palace, who had some talent, how could anyone else compose poems.

"Seventh sister, don't worry, you like that lantern so much, no matter how much the younger brother has to help the seventh sister win it." Li Ye was unimpressed and very confident.

In terms of poetry, he can write some limerick poems at most, but he can't write particularly good ones. Although he can't do it, he can memorize it, fortunately, he can still remember some Tang poems and Song words, although Tang poems are useless to him, but Song words can, and the Song Dynasty only has words and poems, and the Tang Dynasty is the same. It's just that the Tang Dynasty was famous for poetry, and the Song Dynasty was more prosperous.

Although Li Ye is so confident, Li Shu is bottomless, Princess Anhua next to her doesn't care about this, but asks curiously, "Old Seven, how do you know that the answer is the day?" We didn't guess for a long time. ”

Seeing that not only his second sister was curious, but everyone else was also looking at him, he explained with a smile, "It's actually not difficult, but you haven't found the entry point." Under Xiao Xiao, the emperors of the second generation of Qi and Liang in the Southern Dynasty were all surnamed Xiao, and after Qi Liang was 'Chen' (traditional Chinese). The word '陳' is borderless is '東' (traditional Chinese of the East), and the word '東' does not have 'wood', which means 'day'. So the riddle is the 'day'. ”

"It turns out that this is the case, who would have thought that the focus would be on the last few words." Princess Anhua pouted, she didn't expect it to be so simple.

In fact, it is normal to guess wrong, this riddle requires some brains, and you must have some understanding of the four countries of the Southern Dynasties, otherwise it is easy to guess the wrong direction. Guess the lantern riddle, guess the wrong direction, you must not guess correctly.

When I came to Tianxiangju, I found that there were many people on the first floor, among whom were basically dressed as scholars, looking like some talented people. However, seeing so many people, Li Ye and others were also very curious, and when they inquired, they learned that this was originally a poetry club, which was opened by the boss of Tianxiangju, and the purpose was to be vassals and elegant, and to gain fame.

And you don't have to guess the riddle to enter here, you can come in directly, hearing this answer, Princess Anhua almost couldn't help but want to go out and teach that person a lesson, and actually lied to her again. Pity her as a princess, in just a quarter of an hour, she was deceived twice by the same person, fortunately the other party was not malicious, otherwise she might have been sold and helped to count the money. Fortunately, Li Ye stopped her, although they were deceived, but if they wanted to get the lamp outside, they did have the right to choose if they won the award, so if they wanted the lamp, they could only participate in this so-called poetry conference.

Seeing Li Ye and his entourage, a small servant came to Li Ye and said very politely, "Are you also participating in this poetry conference?" ”
