This really stumped me, what did he really want, what should he bet on? I looked around, my eyes fell on a phoenix lantern hanging at the top, and I smiled brightly, "If I win, you can take that lamp and give it to me; If I lose—"

It seems that everything I have is also given by him, and nothing can be lost to him.

He thought for a while, and then said softly, "If you lose, you will be punished for thinking and bringing me the lamp." ”

This is not difficult, with my light skills, a light lamp is not difficult for me, I smiled: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”

After saying that, I read the four lines of small characters on the note in my hand, then I took the pen I had prepared, dipped it in ink, and wrote down the mystery, and then confidently walked to the next lamp, and in a few moments, I had written five or six notes.

When I struggled to answer the question, Li Xuan said to Long Xiao: "You come along?" ”

Long Xiao looked at me concentrating on the answer under the lantern in the distance, her sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her expression was quite proud: "It's just a lantern riddle, what's so difficult about this?" But I won't accompany her to do such stupid things, not to mention that my pen and ink are far more than a hundred taels of gold. ”

Li Xuan then said: "I don't have to worry about your safety, if you are tired, you can leave by yourself." But this kind of stupid thing is a bit of a fool that my husband and wife enjoy. He deliberately pronounced the word "husband and wife" more heavily.

Long Xiao really showed displeasure, on the other hand, Li Xuan was calm and relaxed, he took down the note from a lantern with elegant movements, swept the corner of his eyes slightly, and then picked up the pen to answer. Gradually, he answered more and more anagrams.

An hour passed quickly, at the end of the ten-mile causeway, Li Xuan was already waiting under the high platform erected, I found him in the crowd from a distance, and the Great Qi Emperor Long Xiao had not left yet, the two of them stood on the left and on the right, both of them were dragons and phoenixes, with dignified appearances and particularly conspicuous.

There were people gathered behind me, and I was still a little far away from Li Xuan, so I had to squeeze desperately in the direction where he was standing, but fortunately, everyone raised their necks and looked at the high platform, waiting to announce the result of guessing the lantern riddle tonight, and almost no one noticed me.

Seeing that there were still a few steps left, I went to Li Xuan's side, and a loud voice came from the sky overhead: "The results of the lantern riddle competition have been released, everyone can listen well, there are two people who won the first place in this lantern festival competition, one is Li Sanlang Li Gongzi, and the other is Qin Muxuan Qin Gongzi, congratulations to the two, each won a hundred taels of gold!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience was suddenly full of voices, cheering and thundering, and the words of praise for Li Sanlang and Qin Muxuan were endless, saying that these two must be talents in the capital, how young and promising. I even heard a young lady say that she admires the talent of these two sons and is willing to marry them.

I covered my mouth and secretly laughed, and I didn't dare to laugh too loudly in front of them, in fact, this lantern festival lantern riddle guessing was stipulated from the beginning, and the bounty would be sent directly to the winner's mansion to prevent the bounty from being stolen on his way home, so that in addition to knowing where Li Qin's two sons lived, there was no clue directly to his two identities. Unless someone has the same handwriting as Li Sanlang and Qin Muxuan, and is willing to stand up and admit his identity.

I was in full bloom in the center of a cheer, not for a hundred taels of gold, just for the simple fun of guessing lantern riddles, missed the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, and it is also a beautiful thing to have this chic and interesting lantern festival.

"Mu Xuan-" Long Xiao thought for a moment, and then smiled: "It turned out to be your good princess, so straightforward." He originally meant to tease Li Xuan, but when he saw Li Xuan's face froze, he was shocked and dyed with a touch of undetectable sadness, only to know that he had thought of what was going on in Qinzhou, and he didn't have the heart to laugh.

At this time, I pushed away the people in front of me, and finally pulled Li Xuan's cuffs, smiling like a flower: "There are so many people here, so many people are lively together, but it lives up to the bounty of one hundred taels." ”

I rarely use money, but I also know that one hundred taels of gold is a large amount, enough for a family of five to eat for a long time.

Before my joy passed, Long Xiao suddenly said a strange sentence: "It is worthy of Mu Xuan's son, the words are so ugly." ”

The corners of my mouth twitched, this lantern festival was not held by him Long Xiao, how did he know that my words were ugly?

Li Xuan stroked the scattered hair on my sideburns for me, and said gently: "I can make you smile, a hundred taels of gold is worth it." ”

I realized, "So that's what you're going to surprise me." "I was too happy and I left it behind.

"I'll just know now, you're not stupid." He was happy to "make fun" of me.

I was fluttering, as if I was in the clouds, and my heart was beautiful, but I said, "Since it is to please me, and there are so many mysteries, if I don't win the one hundred taels of gold, won't I lose a lot?" ”

"I didn't see it before, you were so greedy for money."

I blushed, and he added, "There's one more thing." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Xuan rose into the air, his posture was fluttering, several ups and downs had reached the foot of a towering tree, he quickly swept up, only a moment had reached the top of the tree, and then gently picked it, and untied the phoenix lantern, in this interval he also *took out* effort to look back at me and smiled, the smile was overwhelming, the whole scene was so beautiful that it made people tremble, it can be described as superb.

The people around couldn't help but applaud, especially the women present, almost all of them slapped their palms red, I took the lantern in Li Xuan's hand in the envious eyes of everyone, and looked down at this lamp, the more I looked at it, the more I liked it: "I started to answer before you, the two tied for the first place, I am not a winner, but I actually lost." ”

"You're being honest." He crossed his arms around his chest: "Then you want to follow my example?" If you take the other half of this lamp, and you will go to the account office and pay a hundred taels of gold, how about it? "He seduced me with his words.

I feigned anger: "I really think of me as a money grubber." I didn't realize just now that this phoenix lantern is divided into two phoenixes, a phoenix and a phoenix, and the two lamps need to be combined into one for perfection: "Then you can keep your eyes open and take a good look." ”

I lightly lifted my toes off the ground, flying under the gaze of Li Xuan and Long Xiao, a few months of time is enough for me to control this lightness in my body, I also learn from Li Xuan, with the help of the landing to sweep under the tree, Li Xuan's skills have the sunshine of a man, such as a proud powerhouse, is definitely an undoubted king's demeanor, and I am the opposite, the body is spinning, swaying, all of them are women's charm and flexibility, beautiful to the extreme, but also dazzling.

I stood on a branch that stretched out horizontally, and easily untied the only lamp hanging from the tree, and the pattern on the lamp was really the proud gesture of a phoenix spreading its wings, and I couldn't help but marvel at it. I turned around and shook the lantern in my hand in the direction of Li Xuan, then turned around and went straight down and returned to the ground.

When my feet landed, I felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, Li Xuan had received a lot of applause after climbing the tree, how could it be my turn to be deathly silent, most of the onlookers looked at me blankly, with amazement, obsession, and the admiration I had read in Li Xuan's eyes, I was finally embarrassed to get up, approached Li Xuan in three steps and two steps, stuffed the lantern into his hand, and whispered: "I think we should go." ”

His eyes narrowed: "It seems that I have to watch you more closely, guarding against those who covet you." ”

He was just a joke, but my face was flushed and burned badly.

Long Xiao was silent from beginning to end, and he didn't say anything sarcastic to me at this time, but I could feel his inquiring gaze falling on me from time to time, and his dark eyes as deep as ink were unpredictable, I just pretended not to see it, and walked quietly beside Li Xuan.

Our group of three gradually walked away, everyone also dispersed, it happened that a wooden boat came to the side of the long bridge in front, Li Xuan said that it happened to be lacking, this boat came at the right time, so he led me to follow him on the boat, although the appearance of the boat is not spacious, but the inside is complete, tea sets and stoves are all available, and there should be a lot of equipment. If you want to say that this ship was not intentionally prepared by Li Xuan, I don't believe it.

Incense is burning incense and boiling tea on the table, the tea mist is curling, the fragrance of tea fills the entire cabin, Li Xuan ordered someone to prepare more than a dozen snacks with different tastes, smelling the fragrance of the refreshments, my stomach growls uncontrollably, Li Xuan smiled gently, pulled me to sit down, the cabin is warm, even the cushion is warm, this is Li Xuan's tune, no matter how bad the situation is, you must pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation, and never treat yourself badly.

What I didn't expect at all was that Long Xiao personally poured a cup of tea for me, it seems that he is skilled, a simple action of pouring tea is done by him, there is a unique taste of elegance, his face looks very hazy in the curling tea mist, and he is less arrogant and sharp in the past, not like an emperor.

"Taste it carefully, this is royal tribute tea." Long Xiao handed me the tea, the tea color is light and light green, I took a sip, the lips and teeth are fragrant, the taste is mellow, the taste is not particularly strong, but it is very fragrant, and the fragrance of the tea still lingers in the throat after drinking.

I sincerely praised, "I don't know the name of this tea, but this tea tastes good." ”

Long Xiao's expression was calm after hearing this, I couldn't see whether he liked this tea, just as I couldn't hear the joy and anger in his words: "My father loved this tea the most in his life, he once said that he was used to drinking this tea, and then he drank other teas, and he always felt that it was too light." ”

No wonder he seems to have changed someone, it turned out that he remembered his father who went first. I don't know whether to be silent or to comfort him, if I want to comfort him, I don't know what to do, he is the emperor, if I accidentally say the wrong thing, he will be displeased, hey, it is better to provoke him less.

Fortunately, he didn't say anything, I casually picked up a piece of pear blossom cake and stuffed it into my mouth, chewing it carefully, Li Xuan was very intimate, and moved a few plates of pastries to me: "Eat slowly, no one will grab it from you." ”

I guess I was reincarnated as a hungry ghost, so I stuffed my whole mouth with pastries and took the time to ask him, "Aren't you hungry?" "He didn't eat dinner like me, and he didn't bother much when there was something good to eat.

His answer made me want to go up and strangle him: "There is something more delicious in the future." ”

No wonder he looked calm and disdainful of grabbing me, I looked at him sadly: "Then you didn't tell me earlier?" "A few delicious pastries, how can you eat them later?

He took the tea poured by Long Xiao, the expression on his face was even more light, and after a while, a group of maids rushed in, each holding a delicious dish, roughly counting at least one or twenty people, Li Xuan's house is really extravagant, there are only three of us in total, he was cheeky and ordered more than a dozen dishes, I couldn't help but count him: "You ordered so many dishes, how can we finish eating?" You have enough food for ordinary people for several months. ”

He was speechless and said, "I spend my own money to buy a pleasure and have peace of mind." ”

Li Xuan and I were telling the truth, Long Xiao first looked at me, and then at Li Xuan, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and made it clear that she planned to watch a good show.

Knowing that this is very in line with his status as a prince, I still said unhappily: "You are still quibbling? If they also advocate luxury like you, wouldn't the treasury be in deficit? No matter how rich Daqi is, he can't afford to support you people. ”
