Chu Yao presented the simplest lantern riddle to Shi Fuxin. Seeing that she still hesitated and couldn't tell the answer, he was very surprised: "What have you learned in the National Women's Prison these years?"
Shi Fuxin heard the disgust in Chu Yao's tone and immediately said unconvinced: "I learned business, don't you know my business ability?"
Chu Yao: ".I thought you were quite smart before."
Shi Fuxin's eyes widened.
What does it mean that I thought she was smart before, but is she not smart now?
"Guess the riddle, Little Doyle!"
Looking at the stubborn Shi Fuxin, Chu Yao didn't bother to argue with her. He took the lantern he just guessed and handed it to her: "You can take this one too."
Shi Fuxin snorted, took the lantern anyway, and then said with a smile: "This lantern is quite beautiful, I like it."
Seeing her laughing again, Chu Yao also laughed.
At this moment, Xiahou Huanyan and Prince Gong suddenly appeared behind them.
"Sister Xin!"
"Sister Xiahou!"
Seeing Xia Hou's happy face, Shi Fuxin's face lit up, she walked over quickly, saw the lantern in her hand, and asked with a smile: "Is this what Prince Gong bought for you?"
Seeing Xiahou smiling happily and nodding, Shi Fuxin smiled and held up her lantern to her: "My husband-in-law just won this riddle for me, doesn't it look good?"
Xiahou Huanyan glanced at Chu Yao and nodded condescendingly: "It looks good."
On the side, Chu Yao had just exchanged a few words with Prince Gong when he heard Shi Fuxin’s unabashedly showy tone and saw Prince Gong looking at him jokingly. He felt a little uncomfortable on his face, but in his heart he felt uncomfortable.
Joyful.
Chu Yao once proposed marriage to the Duke of Dingguo, but unfortunately he was rejected. Seeing Xiahou Huanyan and Prince Gong here, he was somewhat embarrassed.
However, when he saw Shi Fuxin and Xia Hou Huanyan holding hands affectionately and looking at the lanterns on both sides of the street, they resisted the urge to leave and followed the two of them with Prince Gong.
"The rumors are really hard to believe. You are very different from the rumors outside."
Prince Gong suddenly said this to Chu Yao.
Chu Yao looked over and said with a faint smile: "You haven't even finished shopping on one street, and you noticed that mine is different?"
Prince Gong heard the sarcasm in Chu Yao's tone and coughed lightly: "It's a rumor that you have a poisonous mouth."
Chu Yao glanced at him and said nothing, only looking at Shi Fuxin who was walking in front.
Prince Gong was very angry when he saw that Chu Yao made no secret of his disdain for him and seemed too lazy to talk to him.
The rumors are quite credible, this guy Chu Yao is really unpleasant!
Prince Gong was used to warming up the scene, but he was not used to such a quiet situation. He also thought that Chu Yao was a high-ranking and busy man now, and it was difficult to see him on weekdays, so he once again shamelessly found nothing to say.<
/p>
"Do you know what the outside world says about you?"
Chu Yao didn't even look at him this time.
Prince Gong was heartbroken and continued to speak: "You said you don't like women, you are indifferent and heartless."
Seeing that Chu Yao finally gave him a look, Crown Prince Gong smiled: "Now do you know why I just said that you are different from the rumors?"
Chu Yao understood what Crown Prince Gong meant, and he was talking about his attitude towards Shi Liu: "She is my wife, and I should love and protect her. Isn't the same true for Crown Prince?"
Prince Gong nodded hurriedly: "Of course, my wife is the one who will accompany us until we grow old. Of course, we must take good care of her."
As he said that, he looked at Xiahou Huanyan lovingly, "My wife is so good. Since she married into the royal family, my life has become much more interesting than before."
After a pause, "My wife is good at everything, but she has too many ideas. Because of this, she and I often quarrel."
Prince Gong complained for a while about his daily life with Xiahou Huanyan. He found that Chu Yao was listening attentively and didn't look like he didn't want to talk to him. He glanced at Shi Fuxin who was chatting and laughing with Xiahou Huanyan in front of him and rolled his eyes.
He touched Chu Yao with his arm.
"The fact that your wife can play in the same place as my wife means that the two of them have similar temperaments. Your wife is also a very creative person, right? Do you often quarrel?"
Chu Yao thought of the unhappy breakup this morning and nodded: "Noisy." He hesitated and looked at Prince Gong, "How did you resolve it in the end?"
When Prince Gong saw Chu Yao asking for advice, he felt very happy: "Persuade people with reason, or convince people with force." Seeing Chu Yao frowning, as if he didn't agree, he immediately taught him the experience of the past person.
.
"Most of the things between husband and wife are trivial, but don't underestimate these trivial things. If they are not handled well, it will hurt the relationship between husband and wife."
"When a couple has a conflict, they must resolve it quickly. Don't delay resolving it, thinking that the matter will pass as time goes by."
"Some things may be trivial to us, but to them, they are big things."
"I'm telling you, women can hold grudges."
"If the conflicts between you accumulate too much, they will explode one day."
Having said this, Crown Prince Gong reached out and patted Chu Yao on the shoulder: "Brother, listen to my good words. Never let your woman explode. It's very scary."
Seeing his frightened look, Chu Yao immediately understood that this man had been severely repaired by Xia Hou Huanyan.
When Prince Gong saw Chu Yao looking at him as if he was joking, he felt something in his heart, and quickly talked about something else: "I tell you, getting along with a husband and wife is a big question, especially since you and I have found a wife who has big ideas.
."
"My wife and your wife, for things that they care about but we don't agree with, we argue with them and listen to whoever is reasonable."
"As for the small frictions and differences in life, it's time for us to show our strength." As he said this, Crown Prince Gong winked at Chu Yao.
"Women will not like cowardly men. Men should behave like men. If they cannot be persuaded, they will be suppressed with force."
Chu Yao glanced at Xia Hou Huanyan: ".Does your wife know martial arts?"
Prince Gong smiled and said: "I just know a little bit of the Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu."
Chu Yao was silent. Shi Liu was not something he could suppress. Thinking of Shi Liu's terrifying combat power, he felt that he would be suppressed in turn.
Prince Gong saw the hesitant look on Chu Yao's face and thought he didn't believe it, so he quickly said: "No matter how powerful a woman is, she still likes this trick. I guarantee it will work."
"Really, I told you that's what I did."
After that, Crown Prince Gong taught Chu Yao his experience without any reservation, which made Chu Yao dumbfounded and his brows knitted.
If Shi Fuxin heard this, she would immediately know that Prince Gong’s methods were the wall-dong, bed-dong and the like mentioned in the books she had seen in her previous life!
Chu Yao looked at the proud Crown Prince Gong and sighed at how deeply he studied the pleasures of the boudoir. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed Shi Fuxin and Xia Hou Huanyan stopped in front of the empty bell tower.
It's not that Shi Fuxin and Xiahou Huanyan stopped on their own initiative, it was because they bumped into an acquaintance.
The leaders are the fourth prince and the tenth prince.
During the Lantern Festival, the tenth prince took Princess Beiyan out to watch the lanterns, and met the fourth prince on the way. During the trip, they also met Gongsun Ming and his wife, Fan Mingyu and his wife, and others.
The person who stopped Shi Fuxin was none other than Li Fuzhi, the concubine of the fourth prince.
Shi Fuxin had not paid attention to Li Zhengkun's family for a long time, so she was a little surprised when she suddenly saw Li Fuzhi.
"It's been a long time since I last saw Sixth Sister. I didn't expect that we would bump into each other tonight." Li Fuzhi smiled and spoke proactively.
Shi Fuxin glanced at the fourth prince next to Li Fuzhi. A concubine could be taken out to enjoy the lanterns, which showed that Li Fuzhi was living well in the fourth prince's residence.
"I can't afford to be Mrs. Ru's sixth sister. Not to mention that the Shi family has nothing to do with the Li family. Let's just say that your family and I were so embarrassed. I thought that even if we met on the street, we would treat each other as strangers.
, is the best way for you and my family."
Seeing Shi Fuxin being so ruthless, Li Fuzhi looked a little ugly. She didn't want to greet Shi Fuxin, but the fourth prince gave him the order. Even if she didn't want to, she could only bite the bullet and speak out.
The fourth prince was a little annoyed at Shi Fuxin's lack of appreciation. He asked Li to say hello, which was already a proactive signal of goodwill. He didn't expect Shi Fuxin to be so disrespectful.
Li Fuzhi saw that the fourth prince was angry. As long as she didn't overpower Shi Fuxin today, she would definitely not be able to eat well after returning home. When she saw Chu Yao walking towards Shi Fuxin, she immediately smiled and said:
"I thought Sixth Sister was going out alone tonight to go shopping for lanterns, but I didn't expect Mr. Yao San to be here too."
Shi Fuxin looked at Li Fuzhi indifferently. She didn't like the Li family at all, but as long as they didn't mess with her, she didn't bother to talk to them. But this family was so in love with people that they were so annoying that they wouldn't care about it after that.
Be polite.
"Your eyes must be so weak that you didn't see my husband following me."
"Not only are you blind, but your ears are also bad. Didn't you hear what I just said? How thick-skinned do you have to be that you still treat me like a sister when we are enemies?"<
/p>
"You can be shameless, but I can't."
Li Fuzhi blushed with anger at Shi Fuxin's words.
The fourth prince couldn't help it anymore and looked at Shi Fuxin coldly: "Today, His Highness has finally seen the sharp tongue of Mrs. Chu."
Shi Fuxin looked surprised: "I thought the fourth prince had known about it for a long time. After all, the Liu family had arranged for me everywhere."
At this time, Chu Yao and Prince Gong came over.
After greeting the fourth and tenth princes, Chu Yao said: "The fourth princes and concubines are really generous. Their wives and concubines are harmonious. The fourth princes are so lucky."
Hearing this, the fourth prince frowned, while Li Fuzhi turned a little pale.
Seeing the tense situation, the tenth prince immediately stood up to smooth things over: "It's fate that we met on the street. We go out to play during the Lantern Festival. There are many games to play in the Bell Tower Square, let's go play."
Gongsun Ming and others did not want to be with the Fourth Prince and the Tenth Prince. They were forced to follow him by the Fourth Prince, and they immediately nodded in agreement.
The fourth prince glanced at the tenth prince. The tenth prince was married to Princess Beiyan and was not destined for the throne. He was a good candidate to win over, so he did not flatter him.
Seeing the Fourth Prince's acquiescence, everyone immediately dispersed.
After staying away from the fourth prince and his party, Xiahou Huanyan said to Shi Fuxin: "Are you too rude to the fourth prince?"
Shi Fuxin did not answer directly, but asked: "The prince and his officials, will they be polite when the fourth prince causes trouble?"
Xiahou Huanyan was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No."
Shi Fuxin smiled: "They don't have to worry about the fourth prince's face, and I can do the same."
Chu Yao and Prince Gong behind him heard this and looked at each other silently.
Prince Gong quietly touched Chu Yao with his arm: "Your family has bigger ideas than my family." After saying that, he gave Chu Yao a sympathetic look.
Chu Yao: "." Doesn't he just like this one?
In the situation just now, if Shiliu chose to give in and compromise, he would be angry.
"Hey, there's a trap game over there, let's go over and play."
Xiahou Huanyan pulled Shi Fuxin and ran towards a trap stall.
When Chu Yao and Prince Gong met, they could only follow them quickly.
After arriving, the four of them discovered that this ring game was different from usual ones. It could only be played by couples here, and their hands had to be tied.
Euphemistically called it, it tests the tacit understanding of the couple.
After understanding the rules of the game, Shi Fuxin and Xia Hou looked at each other happily, and then looked at their husbands respectively.
Chu Yao and Prince Gong also looked at each other, and then walked towards their wives with helpless expressions.
There have been people playing this game before, but the success rate is very low. Not to mention the low rate, it is also considered that there is no tacit understanding between husband and wife, so few people come to play it.
Now that they saw someone wanted to play again, the onlookers immediately started to boo.
The boss came over with a smile and tied the hands of Shi Fuxin and Chu Yao.
Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao: "Which hand do you want to tie?"
Chu Yao glanced at Fan Mingyu and his wife and Gongsun Ming and his wife, who were walking towards this side, and said with a gentle smile: "I'm free to look at you."
Shi Fuxin smiled and said, "My right hand is more flexible." She said, looking at the boss, "Boss, please tie my right hand to my husband's left hand."
Chu Yao looked at the hands of the two people tied together, his eyes flickering.
Shi Fuxin suddenly leaned over and whispered: "Mr. Sir, you also want to know if we have a tacit understanding. Don't use your inner strength later."
Chu Yao laughed: "How can this kind of game involve using internal strength!" He said, looking at Shi Fuxin, "You actually like to play this?"
Shi Fuxin immediately said: "There is no distinction between high and low in the game, just have fun."
After that, the two started to cheat.
"Ms. sir, I want that glass lamp."
"I counted one, two, three, and threw the circle together."
Chu Yao said "Hmm" and held a circle with Shi Fuxin at the same time. When Shi Fuxin counted to three, he threw the circle towards the glazed lamp.
There is no doubt that the circle is firmly attached to the glass lamp.
Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao: "The intensity is well controlled."
Chu Yao: "You control it well."
There were cheers all around.
Next, Shi Fuxin and Chu Yao won one in each set, and the cheers from the crowd became louder and louder.
"Ms. sir, I want that vase."
"Ms. sir, I want that pearl hairpin."
Wherever Shi Fuxin pointed, Chu Yao followed and cooperated throughout the process.
In the crowd, Fan Mingyu looked at Shi Fuxin's happy smile, and then at Chu Yao's slightly doting eyes, with sadness flashing in his eyes.
Gongsun Ming also had a look of surprise on his face. Shi Fuxin had to marry Chu Yao because he failed to fulfill his promise. He felt very guilty when he heard that Shi Fuxin was not doing well in the palace.
Now that he saw the tacit understanding between Shi Fuxin and Chu Yao, he breathed a sigh of relief.
