Anyone who can enter this palace and participate in this Lantern Palace Banquet knows that Princess Jinyun's temper is not easy to deal with. Since she said without any scruples in front of everyone that she will not spare her, I am afraid she will be indispensable in the future.

Trouble.

Not only Li Xinghua, Sheng Yunhang, Zhang Haocheng, and Luo Qier also expressed the same worry, even Li Xingming, who has always been fearless, nodded.

Han Jiangxue smiled nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, there are so many people who hate me, and I won't point to her to support them anyway."

The words were obviously ridiculing and indifferent. Luo Qier had the simplest temperament and was soon amused by Han Jiangxue. Her silver bell-like laughter was extremely comfortable. As a result, everyone couldn't help but laugh along.

The tense atmosphere became relaxed again.

Han Jiangxue's words make sense. This girl has always been daring and has offended not only one or two people, but also the prince. What's the harm in having one more Princess Jinyun?

"That's right, what are you afraid of? Don't you still have a good master? Even the emperor has to be polite to the old uncle. Are you still afraid of that little girl Jinyun?" Li Xingming became confused again, lest the world would not be in chaos.

As if shouting.

He didn't know what he was planning to talk about, but Li Xinghua gave him a big slap and quickly forced him to shut his mouth.

Han Jiangxue didn't care either, her expression was demure and full of smiles. She had never regarded the old imperial uncle as a helper, but she would not be put in a bad mood by the threat of a little princess.

I don't know if Mo Li has already arrived. From time to time, Han Jiangxue saw some familiar but not familiar faces, but she did not see Mo Li. Calculating the time, there is still a while before the official banquet begins. That guy must be

It won't come too early.

Slowly wandering to the end of the lantern festival, the large open space in front of Qingxiang Palace has become a sea of ​​lights, which is indescribably dazzling. In the middle of the open space, a golden monkey lantern that is almost three people tall comes to life, attracting many people to stop and watch.

.

This year is the Year of the Monkey, and the final lantern riddle, which will be handed down by the queen herself, will come from this big monkey. But it is not yet time to announce the lantern riddle, and many people are just watching curiously.

"I heard that when the lantern riddle is finally announced, the riddle will pop out of the monkey's mouth. As for how it will come out, it is still kept secret. It should be a great highlight." The crown prince Li Xinghua obviously knows more about these things in the palace, so

Introduced to several other people naturally.

Everyone was fine for the moment, watching and guessing how the mystery might appear, but it was obvious that no one could give a very definite answer.

"What do you think is so complicated? After a while, a long cloth roll was spit out from the golden monkey's mouth. The riddle was written on it." A smiling voice sounded from behind several people. The ninth princess had left at some point.

Got to their side.

After that, the Ninth Princess walked directly towards Han Jiangxue who turned around, and pulled her happily and said: "Jiang Xue, why are you here? I have been waiting for you for a long time. There were many interesting things happened last time."

Let me hear what you have to say. This time you have to accompany me and have a good talk."

The Ninth Princess and Han Jiangxue only met once, and no one knew when Han Jiangxue became so familiar with the Ninth Princess. But no matter what, it was much better than the way Princess Jinyun met.

"It's rare that the Ninth Princess doesn't dislike it. This is Jiang Xue's honor." Han Jiangxue remembered the only piano art class they had together last time. She said to the Ninth Princess who was even less able to speak than Luo Qier but was equally kind and lovely.

It's true that his attitude is kind.

On a night like this, there was no need to be rigid about etiquette, and everyone else happily greeted the Ninth Princess one by one.

"Ninth Princess, why don't you reveal the mystery to us first?" Princess Zhuang and the Ninth Princess's biological mother, Concubine Ruan, are close friends, so Li Xingming is naturally familiar with the Ninth Princess. In addition, he is thick-skinned, so he simply asks the Ninth Princess directly

Find out about the mystery.

When the Ninth Princess heard this, Li Guo smiled slightly: "I am helpless. The mystery of the Damp King this year was revealed by the Sixth Brother. Except for the Sixth Brother and the Queen, no one else knows about it. The Queen said it early in the morning.

The mystery of Brother Huang is particularly interesting. If no one can solve the mystery of Brother Six, then the prize for the Phoenix Blood Stone will go to Brother Six!"

"In that case, none of us have to think about the Phoenix Blood Stone." When Li Xingming heard this, he looked like he had no chance to sing. If it were him, he would have to try his best to come up with the most crooked and crooked thing.

It’s hard to understand!

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but laugh. Luo Qier said that he didn't have to worry about hurting his self-esteem or anything. He said don't think that everyone else thinks the same as him, and for a while they couldn't help laughing.

The seventh princess talked to Han Jiangxue for a few more words, and then was called away by the personal palace maid. When she heard that it was her mother-in-law who called her again, her little mouth almost pouted to the sky, and she just asked why she talks to Han Jiangxue more every time she thinks about it.

When she talks, she always encounters her mother and concubine looking for something to do with her.

But no matter how reluctant she was, she still left. Han Jiangxue turned her eyes slightly but didn't say anything more.

When the mystery was officially revealed, Mo Li was seen. Next to him was a man who looked a few years older, with a handsome face, elegant and gentle.

Mo Li soon saw Han Jiangxue, and without evading anything, he led his companions directly towards Han Jiangxue and others.

Sheng Yunhang and others took the initiative to greet the man next to Mo Li, and hearing them address each other, Han Jiangxue realized that this man was Mo Li's elder brother, Mo Yu, the eldest son of Prince Mo's palace.

Strange, Han Jiangxue secretly thought, these two brothers have nothing in common.

After some simple greetings, Mo Yu looked at Han Jiangxue. Although it was the first time they met, he bowed to Han Jiangxue sincerely in front of everyone and said: "This is Miss Han, help me."

I never had the chance to express my gratitude in person, but today I am finally happy to meet Miss Han, Mo Yu is so rude!"

As soon as these words came out, except for Han Jiangxue and Mo Li, everyone else certainly didn't understand what the life-saving grace Mo Yu said was, and they were all confused. But they didn't feel comfortable asking out loud.

Han Jiangxue didn't expect that Mo Li would tell Mo Yu about the incident a year ago. Although she was a little surprised, she didn't think there was anything too inappropriate. This also showed that the relationship between the two brothers of the Mo family was unusual.

"You are so polite, Prince Yu. Jiang Xueyi just made a casual remark that day. After all, Prince Yu is a lucky man and a good match. Don't worry about it." She smiled and replied. She didn't know if it was because of Mo Li's relationship, so she felt particularly embarrassed when she looked at Mo Yu.

People are close.

"Hey, this isn't the first time you two have met. When have you ever saved someone's life?" Li Xingming was thick-skinned and didn't think as much as others, so he asked Han Jiangxue directly.

However, Han Jiangxue naturally did not intend to say anything in detail, and the mystery was about to be revealed soon, so she naturally avoided Li Xingming's questioning by taking advantage of this matter.

"Do you want that Phoenix Blood Stone?" Mo Li stood beside Han Jiangxue quietly at some point and asked Han Jiangxue without deliberately avoiding the others.

Several people who were already looking at the golden monkey couldn't help but look towards Han Jiangxue and Mo Li.

"Are you sure?" Han Jiangxue also didn't pay attention to the looks of others. She smiled and asked Mo Li, but she didn't say whether she wanted it or not.

"Try your best!" Mo Li chuckled, not fully speaking, but everyone was extremely surprised to see his rare warm smile when facing Han Jiangxue, as if it came from another person.

.Remote and strange.

Zhang Haocheng's eyes were dim, and he looked away without letting himself look any further. Instead, his eyes were firmly fixed on the mystery that was about to emerge, becoming more and more determined.

The atmosphere in the small circle suddenly became subtle and unspeakable. Everyone seemed to be aware of something, but they did not expect to see it in public. Of course, only Mo Yu looked normal, even with a smile on his face.

He felt an indescribable happiness, as if he was happy and proud for his younger brother.

"If you really get it, I want to give it to Qier." Han Jiangxue said softly. Thinking that if the girl enters the palace in the future, there is really nothing she can do for her. Since that girl

I like it. Then if I really get it, I would naturally want to give it to Luo Qier.

Hearing Han Jiangxue's words, Luo Qier couldn't help but be stunned, her eyes couldn't help but get wet, while Li Xinghua and others looked at everything in front of them strangely, really not knowing what to say.

However, Mo Li smiled slightly again and said something even more eye-popping: "As long as you are happy!"

At this moment, some people felt like their hearts were cut by a knife, some felt suddenly sad, some were surprised, and some were extremely happy.

Li Xingming secretly sighed in his heart, this country is really full of talents. He always thought that he was the most unruly, but he didn't expect to meet two more outrageous ones today. This is not in front of everyone**

Is it ambiguous? That girl Han Jiangxue has always regarded rules as nothing, but why did even an unbeatable guy like Mo Li become even worse than him?

The mystery finally came out. As the Seventh Princess said before, it was indeed a large piece of cloth spitting out from the golden monkey's mouth, with about twenty large characters written in flying colors on it.

"Three gold are called Xin, three water are called Miao, three people are called Zhong, so what are the three ghosts called?"

As soon as the mystery came out, everyone started talking. They didn't know why there was such a strange question this year. The three ghost characters together couldn't form a word at all, so it was obviously an unsolvable answer!

Just when everyone was puzzled, Mo Li had already walked to the spotlight, picked up a pen and wrote his answer on the paper. The palace man quickly numbered the answer and put it away, and then waited.

Other people have to solve the puzzle within the stipulated time and submit it together when the time comes.

Soon, about seven or eight people came forward one after another to write the answers to the riddle. According to the rules, if several people answered the riddle at the same time, the first person to answer the riddle correctly would be the winner. In other words, Mo Li was the first.

As long as the person who submits the answer is correct, others will not be able to compete with him even if they guess the same thing.

All the solutions to the problems have been submitted to the person in charge by the palace staff. Taking advantage of the opportunity to announce the answers, everyone naturally started discussing. Many people recognized that the first person to write the answers was the one who made a sensation at last year's poetry meeting.

Mo Li, the concubine of Prince Mo's palace, made Mr. Zhou look at him with side eyes.

If there hadn't been that poetry meeting, maybe everyone wouldn't have paid much attention to Mo Li. Even if he was the first to solve the problem, they would have thought it was impossible to answer it correctly. But now, most people's ideas have become reasonable.

It's different.

"Mo Li, Haocheng, you two have handed in the answers to the riddles, what did you write?" Sheng Yunhang asked curiously. Now that he could tell the answer, it would no longer affect the result, so he asked himself

It's okay.

Zhang Haocheng smiled, but did not respond, and Mo Li asked Han Jiangxue, "What do you think it is?"

Han Jiangxue didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and said openly: "It is impossible for the three characters "Ghost" to form any character together, so this title obviously has something else in mind, and it is quite a joke. What do others think?

I don’t know, but if it were me, if I saw three ghosts in front of me, of course I would have to call for help.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, as if they hadn't thought of it before. If this is really the answer, then the idea of ​​​​solving the problem is really interesting and novel.

"I knew you would have won the lottery by yourself." Mo Li smiled widely, and his words were obviously acknowledging that his answer was consistent with Han Jiangxue.

When Han Jiangxue heard this, she giggled and said, "You'd better think faster and run faster. If I go by myself, I'm afraid someone will kill me early."

Zhang Haocheng remained silent from beginning to end. His answer was the same as that of Mo Li and Han Jiangxue, but what the hell, he was ranked behind Mo Li and lost anyway!

It's just that Zhang Haocheng seems to have matured a lot now. No matter how much he thinks in his heart, he doesn't show it on his face, as if he has never been here or deliberately cared about anything. He is no longer the person who only seizes the day.

The young boy knows that what he is walking on now is a long road that requires endurance and perseverance!

Sensing Zhang Haocheng's surprisingly calm gaze, Mo Li glanced sideways, nodded slightly but said nothing else. The two looked at each other and looked away, as if they had seen through each other's thoughts, calm but absolute.

There will be no concessions.

Without much effort, the Sixth Prince came out and announced the answer to the mystery in public, and Mo Li did not disappoint those who were optimistic about him this time. The word "help" allowed him to win the Phoenix Blood Stone, which became tonight's

The first official small focus of the Lantern Festival.

Mo Li had no intention of keeping a low profile and avoiding taboos, so he took the piece of Phoenix Blood Stone he won and handed it directly to Han Jiangxue's hands amidst the extremely shocked eyes of everyone.
