Only the Eighth Emperor Xuanyuan Xi is still as stable as Mount Tai, idly silent in a burst of laughter, which suddenly gives people the illusion that he has settled down.

The emperor looked around with great interest, and suddenly shrunk her head and head with a finger, and smiled lightly: "Concubine Xian, you can come." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine, the concubine doesn't know ......" Concubine Xu Xian was startled like a primary school student who was named by the teacher for desertion in class, her beautiful face instantly turned red, and the thin gold bead tassel on the flower-wearing butterfly hairpin on the spring breeze bun trembled violently, swaying majestically.

"Hahaha!" The emperor couldn't help but look up and laugh, and waved his hand for Concubine Xu Xian to sit down.

After laughing for a while, the emperor stopped and pointed at the third prince Xuanyuan Lie: "Lie'er, come and guess?"

"Father," the third prince, Xuanyuan Lie, stood up and bowed, his posture was majestic, and his voice was loud, "Erchen tasted the dish of Spring Return to the Earth, sweet but not greasy, and the rice balls are wrapped with colorful fruit fillings, which are delicious!"

"Well, those thin pieces in the rice balls are indeed fruits," the emperor nodded and waved his big hand, "Lie'er, the jasper wrench is yours!"

"Thank you, Father!" Xuanyuan Lie got the jasper wrench, and was elated, wearing it on his thumb and looking at it non-stop. The jade is warm and moist, transparent like water, and it is worthy of being the top royal wrench.

The fourth prince Xuanyuan stared at the wrench like a black-eyed chicken, envious and overflowing, and almost reached out to touch it: "Brother Huang, is it good to borrow the wrench as a brother?"

"Don't be hasty with what you give to you. Xuanyuan Lie has always ignored this grass ** brother who only knows pleasure, and he didn't pay attention to it at this time, "You go and win one by yourself!"

"You!hmph!" The fourth prince Xuanyuan turned his head angrily and raised his chin: "Boom, virtue!"

"Crystal clear, the sky is clear after the rain, and the moon is full tonight," the emperor counted slowly, raising his eyes and sweeping everyone in the hall, "I guessed right this time, and I will enjoy a pair of silk inlaid coral beads!"

The gold filament was twisted into a swirling flowing form, inlaid with red, yellow and blue gemstones, and connected with a string of fiery red coral beads, shining in the emperor's hands, and the treasure glittered everyone's eyes.

"Father, this string of beads is very fond of the retainers!" the second princess shouted softly, "Is it okay to give it to the retainers?"

The third princess had already climbed up the emperor's thigh, climbing the emperor's arm to reach the string of coral beads.

Seeing that the two little daughters liked this beautiful string of beads, the emperor was proud of his eyes, and said happily: "Don't worry, you have one ......."

"Father!" the eldest princess suddenly raised her voice, interrupting the emperor's words, and suddenly the atmosphere in the hall froze. There is only one eldest princess, who dares to be so bold, "The father said that this bead string is the color of the winner of the doutangyuan." ”

"Well, thanks to Rou'er's reminder, my father almost forgot! Jia'er, Yan'er, my father will give you two more beautiful in the future. The emperor did not mind being interrupted at all, but was very happy, and after comforting his daughter, he said with a smile, "No matter who this string of beads falls to, it is the one who guesses." ”

"Father, son-in-law guess ......"

"Father, son-in-law thinks ......"

The eldest princess and the second prince spoke at the same time, closed their mouths at the same time, looked at the emperor, and said in unison again: "The son asks the father to decide." ”

The emperor frowned and groaned, he knew that this was a pair of beads that both people wanted to get, but at the same time, in no particular order, so he wanted him to decide, let whoever said it first. But no matter who says it, it will be the first to take the lead, and it will be unfair to the person who says it later.

The emperor's momentary silence suddenly made the atmosphere of the Shengping Hall extremely depressing. The second prince Xuanyuan Ran and the eldest princess Xuanyuan Rou stared at the emperor tightly, their faces solemn.

This time, everyone knows that Mingli is the second prince who wants to answer for the love of his sister and the third princess; The eldest princess also answered for her sister and the second princess. Secretly, they spoke out for the sake of their respective mothers' faces. Who doesn't know that their biological mother, Concubine Gao and Concubine Xu Shu, have been fighting for so many years regardless of victory or defeat?!

"Ran'er, Rou'er, you each choose one to guess," the emperor smiled lightly, his voice as steady as Mount Tai, "If you guess correctly, you will get a string each, and if you guess wrong, you will get it to those who guess correctly." ”

Everyone nodded involuntarily, this solution is fair, if they all guess correctly, everyone is equally happy, if they guess wrong, they can only blame themselves for not being as good as others.

"Father, the son chooses the rain and the sky is clear. The second prince said loudly, "If the royal sister chooses this, the son can be re-elected." ”

"Thank you to the imperial brother, the courtier's sister chose to be crystal clear. The eldest princess thanked her unhurriedly, smiling, "Brother Huang, please go first." ”

"Okay," the second emperor's brother Xuanyuan nodded, smiling, and couldn't see the tension between the two at all, but instead behaved like brothers, friends and sisters, with strong family affection, "Father, this rice ball in the sunny sky after the rain, the pattern is beautiful, crystal shining, lying in the cup, the soup is gently shaken, and the pattern changes into a different color." Just like the rain flower stone in the bright sun in the clear stream, the wavy pattern is beautiful and moist. It should be glutinous rice dumplings with black glutinous rice flour or black sesame flour. ”

"Ran'er, you guessed wrong. The emperor sighed regretfully and talked eloquently, "The black glutinous rice flour is mixed with the white glutinous rice dumplings, and the two are confused to the point that they cannot be distinguished." And black sesame seeds cannot be fused with white glutinous rice balls. Neither of them can make a clear and harmonious wave pattern like a rain flower stone. ”

The second prince's face darkened, and he couldn't help but look at Concubine Xu Shu, full of guilt.

Concubine Gao glanced at Concubine Xu Shufei, who was unwilling to shine in her eyes, and reached out to pick up the plain brocade napkin and pressed the corner of her mouth lightly, this was silently laughing at Concubine Xu Shufei!

"Father, this crystal clear, each rice ball is like a crystal full of aura, which sets off the natural color of the filling inside more attractively. It should be a layer of potato starch wrapped on the outside of the glutinous rice dumplings, I don't know if it's correct?" The eldest princess's gaze swept over the second prince, the corners of her mouth provoked a smile, looked up at the emperor, and said, "Maybe the outside of the glutinous rice dumplings is wrapped in a layer of potato starch?"

"Potato starch can also make this crystal clear, but it lacks transparency. Rou'er is smarter than your imperial brother, almost right! It's not potato starch, think about it again?" the emperor's tone was kind and seductive.

"Father, the sons are only shallow in their studies," the eldest princess accepted it when she saw it, and said a little coquettishly, "I really don't know what else can make food transparent, only the father can solve the doubts of the sons!"

"If anyone who can guess all three of these things can be guessed, this whole plate of jewels and strings of silk inlaid coral beads will belong to him! Who will try it?" the emperor was playful and intensified his temptation.
