Chapter 600

Chapter 600

The palace attendants carried the lanterns hung with more than twenty lanterns to the middle of the main hall. They also gave each person a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones on their desks.

The father-in-law who was in charge of reciting the lantern riddles said loudly: "After I have recited the riddles, the ministers and ladies can write the answers to the riddles on paper. After the slaves have counted twenty, you will show the answers to the riddles. Those who have the correct answers will Keep guessing, those with wrong answers will be eliminated directly, and the top three will be rewarded. The first place can make a request to the emperor and get a pair of warm jade bracelets, and the second place can get a pair of Wu Shengren's early spring pictures. The third place will get a Tianyinqin."

These prizes are rare and extremely valuable treasures.

After the father-in-law finished speaking, he pulled down the small banner under the lantern on the far left of the second row.

"Fly on the grass and type a word."

"One, two..."

Shen Wan raised her eyebrows, and without thinking, she picked up a pen and wrote the word "Zhao" on the rice paper. Song Heng didn't write it, because there was only one person at the table answering the questions. After Shen Wan answered the questions, he would not participate.

This first puzzle was very simple, so many people answered it correctly. Only a few generals did not answer it correctly and were eliminated.

Xuanyuan Yu glanced at Shen Wan who was holding rice paper in her hand. He didn't expect that she, a country woman, could also guess lantern riddles.

If everyone knew what he was thinking, they would definitely say: "Your Majesty, there are many things you didn't expect!" This Shen family is recognized by everyone as a talented woman! In the literary circle, who wouldn't read her and write poems? ah!

Lin Qingxue was also guessing lantern riddles, but she was eliminated when she guessed the fifth riddle.

This lantern riddle becomes more and more difficult as you go up. By the time they guess the riddle of the tenth lantern, half of the people have been eliminated. The generals are basically wiped out. Among the royal relatives, princes, princes, and uncles, only Princess Liufang is left. , Little Prince Yun, and Anding Hou Murong Li left. Then the others, except Shen Wan, were all civil servants.

And Shen Wan and Princess Liufang were the only women who had guessed the current situation.

Concubine Shu looked at Shen Wan, smiled and said to the emperor and the queen mother: "Mrs. Song is so amazing, she has persisted until now."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "Of course she is powerful, she is now a talented woman in the imperial city!"

"Talented girl?" Xuanyuan Yu frowned. Isn't this Shen without talent or virtue? How did she become a talented girl?

"Don't you know, Your Majesty?" the Queen Mother said: "Her poems are widely circulated in literati. Even Mr. Yun said that her poems are good!" These are all what she heard from Fang'er. Because Shen Shi is Fang'er's savior, so Fang'er always praises her in front of him.

Xuanyuan Yu looked at Shen Wan who had written the correct answer to the riddle again and looked confused. He really didn't know this!

In less than a year, how could Shen, who had no talent or virtue, become a talented woman? Even his teacher recognized her.

He suddenly felt that he didn't know Shen Wan at all.

The riddle arrived at the fifteenth lantern, and there were already less than ten people left. Except for the seven knowledgeable civil servants, the only ones left were Shen Wan, Princess Liufang and Murong Li.

"The heart is neither left nor right, neither up nor down, just one word."

After the father-in-law finished reading, Shen Wan took the brush and thought about it, then wrote the word "loyalty" on the paper.

There is no doubt that she got it right again this time.

Princess Liufang got distracted and stopped there. Also eliminated was a civil servant.
