Chapter 61: Gambling
The crown prince Li Chengqian has already smashed more than 10,000 yuan, but he still hasn't won the beauty, of course he is unwilling in his heart, and he will not give up.
If he is willing to reveal the identity of the crown prince, it is estimated that the slave trader will be so frightened that he will give it to him directly.
However, the Tang Dynasty under the rule of Li Shimin, not to mention other places for the time being, the security in Chang'an City is still very good, at least bullying and bullying and domineering things still rarely happen.
Although Li Chengqian is the crown prince, he does not dare to disclose his identity and bully others, otherwise, his status as the crown prince may be abolished at any time.
Li Chengqian knew very well that if it weren't for his status as the eldest son, the crown prince would not have been able to take his turn, and his father, Li Shimin, had already had a lot of dissatisfaction with him, so he lived in caution and fear every day.
If it weren't for that, he would have launched a retaliatory action against Li Zhonghua a long time ago.
But whoever offended him, he remembered it all, not that he didn't report it, but the time has not yet come.
Once he ascends to the throne, he can start a reckoning one by one, and he will be happy to revenge.
So he is forbearing, not seeking merit, just not making any big mistakes, and the throne will be his.
Li Tai, the king of Wei, looks down on his prince brother at all, although he is now the prince, it does not mean that he can definitely be the emperor.
His father, the emperor, was not the crown prince back then, and he didn't have the last laugh in the end.
Therefore, although Li Chengqian has the identity of the crown prince, Li Tai, the king of Wei, is not afraid of him at all.
To the extent that he was favored, Li Tai, the king of Wei, felt that he was more favored by his father, Li Shimin, than the crown prince Li Chengqian.
And he is not the crown prince, so he is not afraid of making mistakes, and at the same time he wants to see the prince Li Chengxiang make mistakes.
As long as the crown prince Li Chengqian makes a big mistake, it will be his opportunity for Li Tai.
Therefore, Li Tai, the king of Wei, always likes to go against the crown prince Li Chengqian, fight with him, and deliberately want to provoke him, make him lose his mind, and make a big mistake.
Li Zhonghua took a look at the riddle of the lantern riddle, this is a pair of lantern riddle couplets, and the upper couplet is: The white snake crosses the river, and there is a red sun on his head.
It is required to play a necessary item in life, and the lower link to be correct is also a riddle of daily necessities, which is really difficult for ordinary people.
It's no wonder that the crown prince Li Chengqian smashed more than 10,000 yuan, and still didn't guess the riddle, if it was so easy to guess, and the slave trader was not a fool, the Silla maid worth more than 30,000 yuan would be so easy to give it to you for nothing?
The crown prince Li Chengqian had no way to take Li Tai, the king of Wei, a staff member beside him whispered a few words in his ear, and the crown prince Li Chengqian immediately nodded and showed a smile.
Li Tai, the king of Wei, saw that the crown prince Li Chengqian had softened, and immediately showed a victor's smile, and led people to study the mystery of the lantern riddle.
Several people whispered to each other, and from time to time wrote a riddle and paid the slave trader a hundred yuan.
It's a pity that the slave trader took the money with a smile every time, and only said: "It's still a little bit close, it's just a little bit worse, and you should be able to guess it twice more." ”
Every time Li Tai, the king of Wei, guessed wrong, the people on the side of the crown prince Li Chengqian were happy.
Soon, Li Tai, the king of Wei, was also not happy, and smashed tens of thousands of dollars back and forth, making the slave traders cramp with laughter.
Yang Xue and the others were also very interested, everyone discussed, and also gave each other a few riddles, when asked Li Zhonghua if he wanted to give it a try, Li Zhonghua shook his head and said: "Your answers are all wrong." ”
After a few riddles, Wu Zetian looked at Li Zhonghua and said, "Master, have you guessed the riddle?" I know the answer to this riddle. ”
Li Zhonghua has a masterful demeanor and keeps silent. Wu Zetian began to grind hard bubbles, begging him coquettishly, telling himself what the riddle of this lantern riddle is?
Although Wu Zetian is still not very old, he has also developed, and in the past half a year, the whole person has changed, not only has he grown a lot taller, but his chest has also bulged a lot, and he has become a big beauty.
was so soft and hard soaked by her, rubbing back and forth, although it was cold now and the clothes he was wearing were thick, he felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, and if he was rubbed like this, he had to stink.
Instead, Li Zhonghua was very helpless in Wu Zetian's ear and whispered to her the mystery.
Wu Zetian suddenly realized, but he was also satisfied, and immediately laughed happily.
"The master is really the smartest person."
At this time, the crown prince Li Chengqian finally discovered that Li Zhonghua, who was surrounded by more than a dozen beauties, saw that the peach blossom fairy Xue Yuniang was also present, and couldn't help but evoke his sad past.
Originally, this peach blossom fairy was supposed to be his woman, but now she has become another man's woman, which man doesn't hate it in his heart?
"Yo! Isn't this Li Zhonghua, who has been proud of the spring breeze recently and is rumored to be the first genius of the Tang Dynasty? How can you guess the lantern riddle? Li Chengqian's mind flashed, and he took the initiative to greet him and said to Li Zhonghua.
"Accompany your family to the street to make lanterns, and lantern riddles are just for entertainment." As soon as Li Zhonghua saw that the crown prince Li Chengqian took the initiative to come up and talk to him, he knew that he definitely didn't have any good intentions.
"It seems that you have a good harvest today, you should have guessed a lot of riddles." When the crown prince Li Chengqian saw the women around Li Zhonghua, almost everyone had a lantern in their hands.
Li Zhonghua didn't put it in no, and he didn't want to deal with him.
"See, as long as you guess the lantern riddle correctly, this pair of Silla maids is yours. But I think you, the first genius of the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid it's also a false appearance! ”
A few staff members around him just now unanimously agreed that this riddle was unsolvable, and I am afraid that the owner of the riddle was a dead riddle found from there, and others can't guess it.
It's not that hard to just pair a couplet. The difficult thing is that the next link that comes out must be the riddle of a lantern riddle, and the riddle must also be a common necessity at home.
It's very difficult.
And there is another problem, is the mystery of the previous lantern riddle, before you don't have the next couplet, you don't know if you guessed it?
The white snake crossed the river, with a round of red sun on its head. It's hard to guess!
Some people guess that the tongs are black, although the fire in the stove can be regarded as a red sun, but there is no water in the stove! This crossing the river is not established.
The reason why the crown prince Li Chengqian dared to say this was because he had already seen Li Zhonghua coming, but at that time, Li Zhonghua was surrounded by beautiful women, and the prince Li Chengqian did not see Li Zhonghua for a while.
Li Zhonghua has been here for so long, if he really guessed the answer to this lantern riddle, he must have written the answer a long time ago.
As for saying that Li Zhonghua is not a woman, the prince Li Chengqian will not believe it, he is not a woman, will you compete with this prince for the first prostitute peach blossom fairy in Chang'an in the Tibetan Immortal Building?
"Our lord just doesn't want to guess himself, what's so difficult about this lantern riddle, we don't need our lord to make a move, the little woman can guess the riddle."
Wu Zetian saw that someone dared to pick on his master, so he said very unhappily.
When Li Chengqian saw Wu Zetian's appearance, he was immediately stunned, he was a little beauty with a natural appearance, and he couldn't help but be full of jealousy and hatred for Li Zhonghua.
"This little lady, who can't say big words, if you can guess the riddle, this son won't believe it."
"What do you believe? What if you don't believe it? What does it have to do with us? Wu Zetian said with a sneer.
"If you can't guess, you can't guess, why bother to stand up for someone." Prince Li Chengqian said sneeringly.
"What about you if the girl guesses it?"
"If you can really guess it, then Ben Gongzi will admit defeat and be willing to give 50,000 yuan to the girl, how about it?"
"Good! That's what you said! If you lose, you can't afford to pay your bills! ”
"Naturally, I won't rely on you, but ......."
"But what?"
"It's nothing, but if the little lady loses, then you have to go with this son."
“……”
"How? It's not that you don't dare to bet! Thinking that he could put on a green hat for Li Zhonghua, the crown prince Li Chengqian couldn't help but be very excited.
Isn't this little lady worse than the Peach Blossom Fairy? If you wait another two years, you might be even more beautiful than the Peach Blossom Fairy.
Li Chengqian looked at Wu Zetian with squinting eyes, and thought crookedly in his heart.
