Chapter 100: Guess the riddles

At the end of the palace banquet, as Shen Fu said, the Tong family rewarded the lantern and ordered everyone to pick one and put it in the royal river to pray for blessings.

Colorful lanterns spread all over the water, shining in the night. This year's Shangyuan Festival is really a great joy for the father and son of the heavenly family, not only the eldest son of the emperor and the third prince have set the candidates for the side concubine, but even the emperor has added a new beauty.

Bai Muguan found a secluded and uninhabited corner alone, playing with the pink lantern in his hand, looking in a trance. She didn't dare to imagine why Bai Mingnuan went to great lengths to enter the palace to accompany her? Who's fueling the fire? Weiyuan Marquis Mansion?

In the pavilion on the bank of the river opposite, I saw Bai Mingnuan playing the Yueqin Bo Tianzi smiling, and his figure was full of shadows against the backdrop of the palace lights.

Tonight, Yuwen Haotian named her to sleep, and when it dawned tomorrow morning, she would be the emperor's woman. Since she couldn't get Yu Wenye's heart and heart, she became his father's woman and his concubine.

At this time, a female voice suddenly sounded not far away: "Third Highness, the night is cold, why do you stop here alone?" ”

Bai Muguan subconsciously listened carefully, and could tell that it was Li Meiyun's voice.

Soon Yu Wenjing's voice came again: "Doesn't Miss Li also avoid the hustle and bustle and take a moment of leisure?" ”

"Your Highness, you smiled, Meiyun only thinks that it is best to watch the lanterns here."

Under the cover of the night and the trees and flowers, only by the light of the palace lamp in his hand, no one could find the blush of Li Meiyun's cheeks. She had the courage to quietly follow Yu Wenjing's footsteps here, but she didn't know that he came because he noticed Bai Muguan nearby.

"Sister Bai, Sister Bai!" The chattering cheerful voice is naturally Shen Fu.

It's hard to find this girl here.

Bai Muguan made a shushing gesture, turned around and grabbed her wrist, making sure they were far away from Yu Wenjing and Li Meiyun not far away. She didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings or embarrassment.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Fu smiled brightly, and could see that she was really happy: "Sister Bai, come with me to take a look, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has guessed a lot of riddles tonight, and some of them are too difficult for me to even understand the riddles." ”

Can't imagine that Yu Wenye still has this hand?

Bai Muguan also liked to guess lantern riddles before, but today's incident happened suddenly, and she didn't relax for a moment. At this time, he was taken by Shen Fu to the front of the Chunhe Pavilion, and was suddenly infected by the lively atmosphere in front of him.

I saw dozens of large and small lanterns neatly hung on the shelves, and the riddles were either written directly on the lanterns, or written on the tassels hanging under the lanterns on wooden signs. All the lanterns that have guessed correctly have been taken down and taken away, and the person who guesses the most correctly on the Shangyuan Festival every year can also be rewarded by the queen.

Everywhere she looks, in addition to the beautiful lady with fragrant clothes and sideburns, it is the graceful Yu Wenye. He was followed by two chamberlains, holding about a dozen lanterns in their hands.

Bai Muguan looked around and didn't see the Tong family, thinking that it was also on this occasion that the emperor and queen would not show their faces easily. So she left Shen Fu and walked quickly to Yu Wenye's side.

He was worried about a riddle, and when he caught a glimpse of her coming, he only looked at the riddle and asked, "Guanguan, you can show me what the hell is this?" ”

On the wooden plaque are written three words in small letters: ninety-nine.

The girl didn't have time to think and blurted out: "It's my surname, Bai." ”

"White?" Yu Wenye was slightly stunned, frowning in confusion.

Bai Muguan said while smiling to reveal the mystery: "There is one less stroke of white characters, otherwise it will be a hundred." ”

Sure enough, the answer to the riddle was a white word.

Yu Wenye nodded, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes: "It's still your Hui Lan heart." ”

The girl tiptoed into his ear, smiled evilly and whispered, "It's not that I'm smart, it's that Your Highness himself is stupid." ”

For the first time in the world, someone dared to call him stupid! Yu Wenye was not angry, raised his hand and scratched her nose, and scolded with a smile: "Guan Qing, you are getting bolder!" ”

Bai Muguan touched his nose and said angrily: "In front of everyone's eyes, Your Highness don't move your hands and feet." ”

He slowly took down the lantern that Bai Muguan had just answered correctly, and said in a tone with a smile: "Who is the wife who entered the palace today who doesn't know that I like you?" If someone doesn't dare to move their minds, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Bai Muguan covered his mouth and smiled when he heard this, and his worries gradually dissipated in the laughter.

"Your Highness, let's guess the lantern riddle quickly." She looked away from him, pointed to the lifelike goldfish lantern in front of her, and said, "What is the first sunny day after a long rain?" ”

This time, he was confident: "It's the word 'yesterday'." ”

……

In this way, you replied that I won one, and the two did not give in, and in the end they won the jackpot.

"Niangniang, you see that Miss Bai and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are actually a good match. The slave maid had never seen His Highness so happy. "The person who spoke was the one who supported the Tong family, and she was the only one who could persuade the Tong family to say a few words in front of the Tong family.

At this time, their master and servant stood on the second floor of the Chunhe Pavilion near the window, the carved beam window was open, and they could see it at a glance from below.

There was a hint of softness in Tong's heart, and she hadn't seen Yu Wenye smile sincerely for a long time. From about the age of fourteen when he ascended to the throne of the prince, he began to hide his loneliness with a mask of calm and calm. As her biological mother, she was too strict with him, because her expectations were too high, so she couldn't tolerate a threat from his side.

Tong Shi lowered his head and fiddled with the tassels hanging down from the tourmaline amethyst amber string worn by the collar, and sighed slowly: "I heard from the people in the East Palace that every time I was with Bai Muguan, the corners of Ye'er's eyes and eyebrows were smiling, as if she had changed a person. ”

"His Royal Highness was poisoned before, and the mother was full of worries but couldn't leave the palace because of the etiquette, and the slave knew that you were having trouble day and night during that time." Pin'er paused and said, "It's a pity that His Highness doesn't know, he only knows that Miss Bai is guarding his side and can't untie his clothes." Now he has no scruples for Miss Bai, if Niangniang doesn't take a step back, he is afraid that the mother and son will be separated. ”

"Hongu will not back down!" Tong's face was gloomy for an instant, and his tone was firm, "What this palace did was for Ye'er's good, and when he thought about it after a while, he would naturally admit his mistake to this palace." ”

Pin'er raised her eyes to see the cold determination in Tong's eyes, and shrunk her neck in shock, not daring to persuade again.

It didn't take long to see a purple-clothed chamberlain walk up to the Tong clan and report cautiously: "Queen Qiyu, tonight's lantern belongs to Miss Bai of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion who guessed the most, how should I reward it?" ”

"Okay, tonight's limelight has been stolen by their Bai family sisters." Tong's eyes lit up and he commanded, "According to the old rules of the past, the reward is not allowed to be added or less." ”

The purple-clothed waiter responded and took the order.

"Bai Guiren has not yet decided on the title, this palace gave her a 'wonderful' word, you will return to Your Majesty later."

The noble person has a low position and should not enjoy the honor of giving a title, just use the surname as the number.

Pin'er was surprised and wondered: "Why does Niangniang want to raise the white nobleman?" ”

"You remember, how high you hold it, how bad it is." Tong Shi lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly, "Isn't Concubine Xian an example. Your Majesty likes Bai Muguan's temperament, and today she canonized her cousin as a nobleman, if her cousin is one day disgusted by His Majesty like Concubine Xian, do you say it will affect Bai Muguan and the Bai family? ”

"Niangniang Shengming, that's natural."
