Chapter 10: Lanterns

The streets of the capital are full of lanterns. Suzaku Street is brightly lit and full of people. The restaurant was set out early. The vendors are also ready, hoping to meet the nobles who are generous in their purchases.

In the palace, the moon is rising. The emperor took the concubines with flowers and branches to guess the lantern riddles together. At this time of year, the Emperor chooses the one he thinks is the best. Those who are chosen will have the opportunity to spend a night with the emperor. Jing Yuzhao also quietly complained about this regulation, feeling that the emperor was like that card.

The princes and princesses took the county lords and county kings to enjoy the lanterns in the back. The eldest prince and princess took the lead. Appreciate them one by one.

"We're going to make a lottery too. How is it? The Great Prince proposed.

Others chimed in. It's a bit more interesting to have a colorful head.

The second prince jumped out and retorted, "It's like this every year, it's too boring." ”

"In that case, the second brother should pay attention."

The second prince looked at the lanterns hanging up and said, "Why don't we each come up with a colorful head." Finally, see who has the most difficult lantern riddle, which makes people unable to answer. The hardest person gets everyone's jackpot. ”

Good idea. Jing Yuyan immediately shouted "yes". Everyone also thinks it's good and very innovative. So everyone guessed one by one.

Princess Celestia is a poem; Go up to the west building alone to admire the moon.

The county lord of Anping directly said a good one: Lang accompanied the evening bridge turmoil.

The eldest prince and the second prince came up with anagrams. These talented people have guessed it all after a few studies.

"Didn't you guess?" Jing Yuyan said in Jing Yuzhao's ear.

"No, I guessed it." Jing Yuzhao said calmly. Even if you can't guess it, you have to pretend to guess it.

When it came to Jing Yuyan, she was very complacent. It is an uplink: Ruixue Hanmei, proud of the bones, knowing the harvest year.

Jing Yuzhao dared to vouch for his head, this was definitely not what Jing Yuyan thought of herself. It must have been a master. The two of them have one thing in common, that is, they are not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Only then did the two of them resemble a father's sisters.

Jing Lin didn't know when he stood behind Jing Yuzhao, "Did you figure it out?" ”

"Nope!" Crisp and neat.

Jing Lin smiled. Every time I admit my shortcomings, I admit it so happily. There is no shyness of a girl at all.

"I didn't come up with it either. Today, the second princess is amazing. ”

"What's amazing? I guess I didn't think about it. ”

"Jing Yuzhao!" Jing Yuyan shouted, "If you can't come up, don't talk nonsense." ”

The ears are quite smart, "Who said I can't be right?" ”

Everyone was shocked. The third princess of waste wood can also do it?

"White cats and black cats, they are all good cats, catch mice."

As soon as the words came out, there was silence all around. After a while, some people around couldn't hold back their laughter. Jing Lin also smiled, it was very cheesy, and it made sense.

Jing Yuyan stomped her foot angrily, "I want to see what you come up with?" ”

Jing Yuzhao made a gesture of please, and her own was next to her.

Among the many beautiful lanterns, Jing Yuzhao's is dominant. The picture is simple and naΓ―ve. The riddle is: there are noodles but no mouth, feet and no hands, and they can eat and drink.

The riddle is very simple. Within a few seconds, Jing Lin said the answer: table.

Jing Yuyan's anger finally subsided a little. It's too easy, it's not difficult. I don't deserve to be an opponent with myself.

The final victory was the county lord of Ning. The county lord of Ning is a quiet character. He studied well and seriously, and was notoriously talented. out of a high level. It's just that the meaning of the word is vague, and it can't hide the thoughts of some people.

The emperor has already given them a word. It's still early, so you can go out of the palace and go to Suzaku Street for a stroll.

"Great!" Everyone cheered. Suzaku Street is much more lively than the Imperial Palace. In particular, the legend says that you can find the Magpie Bridge of the destined person.

Legend has it that it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Put on a mask, walk up to the Magpie Bridge, and you will meet the person you are destined to be. That moment of looking back, in the place where the lights are dim, I met you only, how romantic. That bridge gave birth to many legends and gave birth to many fairy couples.

The three princesses sit in a carriage. The fourth princess, Jing Yuwan, tried her best to narrow her sense of existence. Jing Yuyan occupied most of the place, staring at Jing Yuzhao with unkind eyes.

"The eyes of the second emperor sister are too hot, I thought the second emperor sister liked me!"

Jing Yuyan wanted to vomit blood, her skin became thicker and thicker. "How did you become like this now? Not even a little shame is gone. ”

"I can't thank the Second Emperor Sister for this!"

Jing Yuyan is a paper tiger. Grumpy, unvirtuous, straightforward. Jing Yuwan in the corner is a person with a lot of eyes. I didn't make a noise all day, but I got a lot of benefits.

The third sister's mouth is getting more and more poisonous, and her courage is getting more and more bold. Waiting for Concubine Xian Niangniang to give birth to a child, see if the third sister dares to be so arrogant. ”

Jing Yuzhao lay on Jing Yuyan's ear, "When the eldest brother ascends to the throne of the crown prince, I don't know if the imperial sister will dare to act so boldly." ”

"Presumptuous!"

Jing Yuzhao spread his hands, "I heard that Sima Mansion has chartered the best box in Manchun Pavilion, but I don't know if Sima Yu is here." Speaking of this Sima Yu, it is said that he likes gentle, virtuous and talented women the most. The so-called fish with fish, shrimp with shrimp, turtle with Wang Ba ......"

There was a thud next to it. Jing Yuyan slapped Jing Yuwan's face.

Jing Yuwan had tears in her eyes and didn't say a word.

Suzaku Street has been placed under martial law and no horse-drawn carriages are allowed to pass. The three got out of the carriage and immediately went their separate ways. If you want to see three hates, don't see each other, be in a better mood.

Suzaku Street is as lively as expected. Jing Yuzhao's heart flew up. Zixuan pulled the corner of Jing Yuzhao's clothes, afraid of being scattered by the crowd.

There was a burst of cheers from the acrobatic performers. The people who guessed the lantern riddles in the store always exclaimed, for that exquisite ingenuity. The children cheered around the place where the sugar gourd and the candy man blew it.

A fair woman wearing a Zhu Bajie mask squeezed into the sugar man stall surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Boss, give me a sugar man." This woman is Jing Yuzhao.

The girl waited a moment. I wonder what the girl wants? ”

Jing Yuzhao blurted out, "Dragon." ”

The old man who sold the candy looked up at her. "The dragon is not easy to blow, if it is not blown, please forgive the girl."

"It doesn't matter."

At this time, the old man blew out a beautiful butterfly. A group of small children cheered.

It was Jing Yuzhao's turn, Jing Yuzhao bent down and looked at the old man's exquisite skills seriously.

A warm male voice came from behind him, "Uncle, bring me a dragon too." ”

The old man wondered, "The old man has blown the sugar man all his life, and the number of times he blows out the dragon is very rare, I hope the son will not be surprised." ”

"Today, the old man will definitely be able to."

What a strange remark. Jing Yuzhao turned around and looked behind him. A man wearing a Zhong Kui mask and a crescent white brocade robe. The long body is jade, the eyes are deep, and there is a sense of familiarity.

"Girl, your dragon is good, I am also lucky to be an old man today, blowing so beautifully.".

Jing Yuzhao turned around and caught it. Sure enough, a lifelike golden dragon. Jing Yuzhao gave the money to the old man, "Thank you." ”
