Chapter 66: Lantern Riddles

Jinghe said that he was a little jealous of He Xiaoqiao, just a little.

As we all know, Shangguan Yun, the youngest prime minister of the Dayan Dynasty, has always been known for her calm mind and indifferent and alienated attitude towards everyone, and she usually went up to greet her first whether she saw her in the palace or outside the palace, but this time he actually spoke to He Xiaoqiao first, and the two talked very happily - although the reason why He Xiaoqiao helped Shangguan Yun was there, Jinghe still felt unbalanced, and how to look at it was not a taste.

She also wanted to help Shangguan Yun one day, so that he would definitely smile when he saw her in the future.

He Xiaoqiao didn't miss Jinghe's expression, and was stared at by her with envy, jealousy and hatred for a long time, even if it was a dead person, it should be discovered.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who is just beginning to fall in love, is jealous!

If you don't make things clear today, it is estimated that the girl who falls in love and swims blindly will treat her as a rival!

"Tranquility ......"

"Girl......"

As soon as He Xiaoqiao's words began, Shangguan Yun over there also spoke at the same time, the two looked at each other in astonishment, He Xiaoqiao hurriedly waved his hand, "You invite first, you invite first." ”

Shangguan Yun couldn't help but laugh again, Jinghe saw him laughing happily, his heart was amazed and jealous, and he pulled the handkerchief into a strip with both hands, almost stuffing it into his mouth and biting it to vent his anger.

Shangguan Yunke doesn't care what she thinks, although she doesn't have any bad feelings towards Jinghe, but she doesn't belong to the kind she likes.

"In the lower compound surname Shangguan, a single name is a Yun word." Arching his hand towards He Xiaoqiao, Shangguan Yun said politely, "I left in a hurry in the morning, and I have time to ask the girl's name in the future, I don't know ......."

"Oh, that, my name is ......" He Xiaoqiao was just about to speak, but Jinghe, who had been watching from the side, suddenly pulled her and stood in front of her first, "She is He Xiaoqiao, a friend of Bengong who only met recently." ”

Friend?!

He Xiaoqiao raised her eyebrows, turned her head to look at Jinghe, who gritted her teeth, and wondered why this girl suddenly didn't call her seventeenth aunt?

"I see," Shangguan Yun glanced at Jinghe with some surprise, and then turned to He Xiaoqiao thoughtfully, "Miss He shouldn't be from the capital, right?" ”

He Xiaoqiao shook his head, his mouth opened, and Jinghe saw the opportunity to rush over to cut off his beard, "Xiao Qiao is a distant relative of the Seventeenth Emperor Uncle's Mansion Shangliu Butler, because the family suffered from the flood, he has been wandering without relatives for a long time, and he was only recently brought to the mansion. ”

Steward Liu's ...... Distant relative?

The corners of He Xiaoqiao's mouth, who were completely confused, twitched, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Jinghe was selling in this gourd. However, because the current situation is not clear, he did not open his mouth to expose it, but silently smiled when Shangguan Yun looked over, nodded naturally, and pretended to have a heavy sadness, "Her Royal Highness the princess is right, this is the way it is." ”

Although he still wants to add fuel and vinegar to describe his life experience more tragically, Shangguan Yun is a shrewd person at first glance, and it is too difficult to deceive him, so it is better to leave some imagination space for people to play freely.

He Xiaoqiao thought so, and immediately swallowed back the story that had been drafted silently, so as not to make too many mistakes.

can mix up with the position of prime minister at a young age, how can Shangguan Yun be fooled by the two of them, but out of respect, he still cooperated to stop the topic, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to make the girl think of the sad past." ”

"It's okay, it's all over."

He Xiaoqiao waved his hand open-mindedly, seeing Jinghe pouting sullenly and not speaking, presumably this scene should be over, so he took her arm and said to Shangguan Yun, "Her Royal Highness the princess just told me that she was going to guess the riddle and win all the lanterns back, is Shangguan Gongzi interested in going to see it together?" ”

I heard Shangguan Yun call himself a subordinate official just now, since he is an official, and he is a gentleman and elegant, there must be a lot of ink in his stomach, and it should not be difficult for him to guess a lantern riddle or something.

He Xiaoqiao is the idea of letting him win the lantern, and by the way, he can also create more opportunities for Jinghe to get along with his sweetheart, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

Sure enough, as soon as Jinghe heard her words, her pretty little face immediately lit up, but she soon snorted as if she thought of something, and turned her head away arrogantly, "Lord Shangguan is busy with official business, how can he have time to play with such pediatric things?" Ten...... Xiao Qiao, let's go by ourselves, so as not to delay Lord Shangguan. ”

That being said, the beautiful big eyes still looked at Shangguan Yun from time to time.

Seeing him looking at himself, he hurriedly turned his head and pretended not to care.

"It's not that I'm busy with official business...... Shangguan Yun pondered for a while before saying, "But since the princess and Miss He were invited, Xiaguan is naturally disrespectful." ”

"That's great!"

He Xiaoqiao laughed, and secretly made an OK gesture to Jinghe, although the latter didn't understand much, but he also knew with his toes that He Xiaoqiao wanted to do this for her, and immediately the flowers bloomed, and the same gesture went back.

Shangguan Yun only turned a blind eye to the small actions of the two of them, and did not say anything on the surface, but in his heart he became more and more curious about He Xiaoqiao's origin.

………………

Seeing that the three of them were talking happily and walking forward together, Leng Qianshan, who was ordered to be a bodyguard, stared at Shangguan Yun expressionlessly for a while, but finally chose not to follow, but just called his subordinates who were on standby nearby to bring the situation here to Jiang Fenghao, and he silently found a hidden place to squat.

The current situation can't help him to appear, and it is even more difficult for him to explain if he goes out to make the princess and princess.

Shangguan Yun seemed to be aware of it, and after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned his face slightly sideways and looked in the direction where Leng Qianshan was, who was clinging to the darkness and remained motionless.

"Shangguan Yun, hurry up!" Because He Xiaoqiao was used as a light bulb as a buffer, Jing He, who had recovered his bold personality, turned his head and shouted at him unceremoniously, "The beautiful lanterns here are going to be won!" ”

"It's coming soon." Shangguan agreed, turned his head as usual, and walked slowly towards the two women who had already squeezed into the crowd.

Seeing him approaching, Jinghe hurriedly pulled him under the most beautiful and delicate lantern, stretched out his hand and pointed to the note below and asked, "Look at this, will you?" ”

He Xiaoqiao looked up at the same time as Shangguan Yun, and saw a sentence written on the note: A family of eleven, a family of twenty, two families together, everything is fine.

"'A family of eleven' is 'auspicious', and 'a family of twenty' is 'twenty', and these two families are combined...... I guess it's a 'happy' word. Before He Xiaoqiao could start thinking, Shangguan Yun over there had already smiled and reported the answer.

"That's right, it's a 'happy' word!"

Someone on the stage heard it, and without saying a word, he picked up the drum hammer and hit it heavily on the drum surface, and with the sound of "dong", the scene immediately resounded with a cheer.

Someone took down the lantern with a bamboo pole with a curved hook, and Jinghe immediately happily took it and hugged it tightly in his arms, excited as if he had picked up a treasure.

He Xiaoqiao on the side bit her fingernails, trying to find the riddles she could solve from the small notes in the sky, but she found nothing - she had no idea about these riddles.

Seeing this, Shangguan Yun asked with concern, "Does Miss He have a favorite lantern?" ”

He Xiaoqiao subconsciously looked at the lantern playing in Qingxi at the front.

"Fallen leaves and branches hanging, in the middle of the night in the cold palace", Shangguan Yun only glanced at it and laughed, "It turned out to be 'Yueji'." ”

"That's right, it's 'Moon Season'!" The man on the stage shouted the answer, and did not forget to praise like a sycophant, "This son is really good at learning, and he answered correctly!" ”

After receiving the lantern handed over by the person on the stage, He Xiaoqiao was both happy and disappointed. I was happy that I got the lantern I wanted, but I was disappointed that this lantern was not won back by Jiang Fenghao.

"Miss He doesn't like it?" Shangguan Yun didn't miss her disappointed expression as she stared at the lantern.

"No, I like it." He Xiaoqiao shook his head, pretending to smile easily and thanked him, "Thank you Shangguan Gongzi, I will accept this lantern unceremoniously." ”

"Xiao Qiao doesn't need to be polite to him, this kind of 'gesture' Lord Shangguan will definitely be happy to help. We're going to win all the lanterns back, and we're just getting started! ”

Before Shangguan Yun could speak, Jinghe had already run over and hugged He Xiaoqiao's arm, and walked to Shangguan Yun with his chin high like a victorious hen under the gaze of a circle of people around him, and looked up at him, "Lord Shangguan, do you say yes or no?" ”

"Everything is up to Your Highness."

Shangguan Yun smiled slightly, responded with a good temper, and had a friendly attitude like an older brother who doted on his sister.

Remembering the appearance of him obsessively following the flower chariot where Miss Lan Xin was sitting before, He Xiaoqiao couldn't help but glance at Jinghe who didn't know anything sympathetically-poor child, the grand cause of his secret love had not yet had time to unfold, and the road ahead had been firmly strangled to death.

"Shangguan Yun, this way!" Jinghe didn't give He Xiaoqiao a chance to sigh, his eyes wandered around all the lanterns, and soon he opened it with full of energy, "I want that lantern with a lot of lotus flowers!" ”

"Here it is." Shangguan Yun didn't frown, and slowly paced behind his back.

In the next half an hour, the people around the stands all looked sluggish, watching Shangguan Yun light one after another, easily winning the lanterns above his head.

Just look at the riddle, and the next second you can tell the answer to the riddle, and it's a guess.

This kung fu is so perfect that even the judges on the stage who are responsible for distributing the prizes are a little dumbfounded.

With Shangguan Yun's great ability, Jinghe Coke, who has never liked to study, completely handed over the task of winning back the 'ten or eight lanterns' to Shangguan Yun, and he was happy to follow He Xiaoqiao to pick out those eye-catching lanterns for him to get back.

Halfway through the lantern festival, nearly 30 lanterns of different shapes had been hung around the two.

After the excitement, He Xiaoqiao began to worry - how to bring back so many lanterns later?

"This is easy," Jing He's eyes barely stuck to Shangguan Yun, and he replied without replying, "Wait a minute, just let the big ice cube that came out with us just now help move it back." ”

The big ice cube is also a cold guard of a thousand mountains!

He Xiaoqiao imagined the funny appearance of Leng Qianshan with a paralyzed face covered with lanterns, and smiled very unkindly on the spot.

Although she had to admit that it was a good idea, she thought about it later and decided that it would be better not to get all the lanterns back, because there was no place to put them, and it took up too much space.

His eyes unconsciously looked around, and his eyes fell on the children who were looking at the lanterns in the vicinity, He Xiaoqiao's eyes turned twice, and suddenly he thought about it, "Otherwise, how about we each pick out two of our favorite lanterns, and divide the rest?" ”

This not only solves the problem of carrying lanterns, but also makes other people happy and happy, so why not?

"Okay!"

Jinghe didn't care, anyway, except for the lantern that Shangguan Yun helped her win at the beginning, she planned to give the others to He Xiaoqiao as gifts.

Since it is a gift, it is He Xiaoqiao's if it is given out, and she can deal with it as she likes.

"Then it's settled."

After the two reached a consensus, He Xiaoqiao also went to report to Shangguan Yun, after all, the lantern was won back by people with great difficulty, and they wanted to send it out to tell others, right?

Although Shangguan Yun was slightly surprised by He Xiaoqiao's proposal, he did not object, and generously said that the things sent out were theirs, and they could dispose of it as they wanted, without asking for his consent.

So He Xiaoqiao happily worked with Jinghe, and distributed the more than 30 lanterns to the children playing nearby, as well as a few shy girls dressed more plainly.

This move decisively won the favor of many adults and children, not to mention.
