Chapter 541: Shangyuan Festival Palace Banquet, Guess the Lantern Riddle
Kitano Hongyao had to look sideways at those masks, chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, everything, so she chose a cat mask that was quite good-looking and put it on.
Only then did he enter the palace with Princess Wantao.
In the palace, the lights are bright, like daylight, and on both sides of the road leading to the main hall, there are two rows of red lanterns, and on each lantern, there is a lantern riddle.
It seems that the bustle of the street market has been moved into the palace.
Kitano Hongyao saw it freshly, could it be that the Shangyuan Festival of the Yunxiao Kingdom was so grand every year?
Or did you add some extra decorations this year to accommodate her?
Thinking of this possibility, Kitano Hongyao felt a trace of excitement in his heart, and quickly suppressed it.
Just because Princess Wantao saw a sign, she had already approached the sign and read the words on it:
"On the Shangyuan Festival, the female dependents who get the most lanterns will give royal wine."
The courtiers saw that this part of guessing the lantern riddle turned out to be specially prepared for the female dependents.
Also, if they are allowed to guess, then what is the matter with the female dependents? They all smiled and went straight to the main hall with a sense of humor, and did not linger here.
Princess Wantao pulled over Kitano Hongyao, who was still in place.
"Third princess, you have to work harder, after all, the noble daughter of our Yunxiao Kingdom is not a vegetarian. Let's see who can come out on top, and get the royal wine from the royal brother. ”
Kitano Hongyao didn't want to guess, he just wanted to see Jun Lingyun soon.
But after Princess Wantao said this, she didn't participate, but she was cowardly and embarrassed to the Northern Barbarian Country.
Could it be that this level is really specially designed for her, right?
Didn't Jun Lingyun Mo think that their northern barbarians were good at fighting, so they neglected academics and wanted to test her talents? Or, to extinguish her prestige?
Thinking of this, Kitano Hongyao raised his fighting spirit and stretched out his hand to point to the first lantern.
"The blind man touches the elephant, plays an idiom, and the answer is, I don't know the general situation!"
The palace man took down the lantern and turned the lantern around, and there were four big characters written on it: I don't know the general situation.
"Congratulations to the third princess for answering correctly, this lantern will be yours."
Princess Wantao gave a thumbs up.
"Wow, I really don't know the general situation! The three princesses are smart. ”
Whether it is the posture of her speech or the tone of her voice, she is obviously full of applause, but Kitano Hongyao feels uncomfortable no matter how she listens.
I don't know the general situation! Kitano Hongyao reacted and gritted his teeth secretly.
It is no wonder that none of the ladies and ladies who went in first solved the mystery of the first lantern.
She thought that no one would understand, and she said the answer in one bite.
Now that she thinks about it, she should have thought about it first.
It's just that Kitano Hongyao would have thought that Jun Lingyun, the king of a country, would set her up in such a place.
Now it's okay, this "ignorant general" lantern is going to follow her all the way.
"Three princesses, three princesses? Why don't you look good? But what's uncomfortable? If you are unwell, I can explain to the Imperial Brother on your behalf, and the Imperial Brother will not blame you for your absence. ”
Princess Wantao shouted twice beside Kitano Hongyao, and finally recalled her thoughts.
"I'm fine, let's continue guessing."
Kitano Hongyao stabilized her mind, before entering the palace, she thought that Jun Lingyun was interested in her, but now it seems that she was careless.
If she had a seizure at this time, wouldn't it be in line with Jun Lingyun's intentions? She's not that stupid.
No matter what, she has to see Jun Lingyun's face today.
If Jun Lingyun rejected her in person, he would have rejected the opportunity to negotiate peace with their Beiban.
Beiban is now short of food, but how good can Yunxiao Country be?
I just subdued Xizhao, and the tail is too big to fall. If the war starts at this time, it is uncertain who will lose and who will win.
If Xizhao is in chaos again, the will of the people who have just been subdued may guarantee that it will not be slackened?
Jun Lingyun is a good emperor for the country and the people, and he will not choose to go to war at this time. Then you have to accept her, whether it is from your heart or not.
In this way, she can move further.
"Third princess, don't be strong, your body is important."
Princess Wantao was concerned again, and Kitano Hongyao forced out a smile.
"Thank you Princess Wantao for your concern, I'm in good health, I'm just concentrating on the answer."
Princess Wantao nodded knowingly.
"That's good."
Kitano Hongyao's eyes unconsciously swept behind him, and he saw that he didn't know the four big characters.
Coupled with Princess Wantao, I don't know if it was out of true feelings or fake concern, so that there seemed to be a flame burning in her heart, but she couldn't spray out, and only burned herself.
The two princesses looked at the lantern riddles one by one, guessed one, and the palace people would take down the lanterns and follow them.
Kitano Hongyao was cautious, but the riddles in the back were much more normal.
But no matter how many lantern riddles Kitano Hongyao guessed correctly, the lantern that "didn't know the general situation" firmly occupied the first position behind her, making her feel like a fish in her throat.
By the time I finally reached the main hall, half an hour had passed.
Princess Wantao said regretfully:
"Oops, my lantern is one less than yours, and it seems that the wine has nothing to do with me."
Kitano Hongyao didn't answer, and looked behind the other female dependents, and sure enough, there were the most lanterns behind her.
It's just that when she looks behind others, others are also looking behind her.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, she always feels that these ladies are staring at the first lantern behind her.
Kitano Hongyao tried to adjust his mentality, forgot the lantern that "didn't know the general situation", smiled lightly, and walked into the main hall.
She glanced around, and according to her clothes, she finally made out the envoy of their northern barbarian kingdom.
When the envoy saw the princess of his country, his eyes were also eager, but it was not good for him to get up and say more to her on such an occasion.
Kitano Hongyao had already retracted his gaze and looked at the two emperors and queens who were high above.
"The third princess of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, Kitano Hongyao, has seen the emperor of the Yunxiao Kingdom, the queen mother."
She finally saw Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi, but she couldn't see her true faces. It's just because the emperor and queen are also wearing masks.
Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi are wearing white fox masks, with bright red eyes that are obliquely raised, but they can distinguish between male and female.
Jun Lingyun's white fox mask is decorated with black totems, and the evil charm does not lose the imperial nobility.
Chu Yunxi's is on one side of the forehead, painted with a fiery red flower on the other side. With her red lips, it is bewitching and seductive. No matter how you look at it, it's all a couple.
"The third princess of the Northern Barbarians, she really knows books and etiquette. Since today, it is the third princess who has won the first prize in guessing the lantern riddle, and someone will come and give the royal wine! ”
Although what Jun Lingyun said was a word of praise, the cold voice and the majesty of the emperor made this more officialdom to deal with.
The emperor ordered, and immediately a palace maid came up with a tray. On the tray, there is a glass of imperial sake.
The palace maid walked up to Kitano Hongyao and bent down to hold it up with both hands.
"Third princess, please use it."
Kitano looked at the cup containing the imperial sake. It's a wine glass, but it's more like a small bowl, but with an extra handle.
How can a woman be given wine with such a large glass?
