Chapter 143 The Lantern Festival

When Emperor Wanchang saw it, he immediately twirled his beard and smiled, and said: "Xiaoyun Aiqing, it seems that although you are not very old, your couplet skills are really good. You can even make a riddle into a whole picture."

Lianzi? Okay, okay, come on, dear friends, take a good look at the first mystery our Xiaoyun Tanhua has revealed!"

Shen Cheng smiled and said: "This couplet is quite neat, but what is this riddle about? Chengfeng still needs to point it out?"

Yun Zheng said Haoran: "The old prime minister reminds me that Chengfeng forgot to say, these two sentences, type one word each."

Two sentences, one word each, everyone nodded, and each began to ponder.

Prince Lin Xu looked around, and while everyone was thinking and no one was paying attention, he quietly moved towards Gu Xian, got closer to him, and lowered his voice and asked: "What is the answer to the mystery?"

Gu Xian smiled bitterly in a low voice: "This...has not yet been solved."

Lin Xu looked depressed: "It's because the lantern tower is too small. Otherwise, if we bring a few more people up and use our brains together, one of us will guess it."

When Gu Xian heard what Lin Xu said unintentionally, an idea suddenly flashed in his head and he said: "Yes!"

"What's up?" Lin Xu was stunned.

"Uh... It's not that I have it, I just guessed it." Gu Xian answered a little depressed. Why does the prince's question always sound weird?

"Wow, you guessed it?" Lin Xu's eyes lit up and he praised: "As expected, he is the eldest son of the Gu family. His talent is all revealed - hurry up, tell me what the answer is?"

Gu Xian had a dark look on his face, his talent was flowing out, and it wasn't just bad water in a pustule, really! He suppressed the disgust in his heart and whispered: "The answer is: guessing riddles."

"Guessing a riddle?" Lin Xu was startled for a moment, then suddenly his eyes widened: "Nonsense, I know this is a riddle, I'm asking him what the answer to this lantern riddle is! Guessing a riddle, don't I know the riddle?"

Gu Xian said anxiously: "No, no, I mean, the answer to his lantern riddle is just two words, one is 'guess' and the other is 'riddle'"

"Oh, that's it. You should have told me earlier." Lin Xu nodded, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Father, sirs, I already know the answer to this mystery."

Everyone looked at him, and everyone was surprised: What, we are still thinking about it, how can we guess it just based on the little ink in your belly, Your Highness?

Emperor Wanchang was also a little surprised. His son knew that he had not read a few sentences in the book. How could he guess the lantern riddles? Only when he looked at Gu Xian, who had a black line on his face next to Lin Xu, did he finally understand.

Well, it turns out that's the case. However, Emperor Wanchang didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Xu's actions. The credit of the ministers should be counted on the master's head. That was a matter of course and it was no big deal.

"Tell me about it," Emperor Wanchang said with a smile.

Lin Xu held his head high: "The answer is: guess - riddle"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized

"Black is not black, white is not, red and yellow are not, it is like a fox, cat or dog, neither domestic animal nor wild beast" is obviously a word next to the word dog, but it is neither a domestic animal nor a wild beast, so the word "guess" just fits

"There are poems, lyrics, and the Analects. They are vague about east, west, north, and south. Although they are short pieces, they are wonderful articles." Needless to say, it is the "mystery"

"Chengfeng, is this answer correct?" Although Emperor Wanchang already knew that the answer must be correct, the mystery came from Yunzheng, so he had to ask him to be honest.

"Your Majesty, what the Crown Prince said is indeed the right answer." Yun Zheng had no intention of confusing anyone with this couplet. This was a holiday, not a competitive competition, and he didn't want to ruin his mood.

Emperor Wanchang laughed: "The correct answer is Xu'er. If you answered the first riddle, then you can solve the second riddle."

Lin Xu was stunned, how could he come up with some lantern riddles, and he immediately started hesitating. Gu Xian's mind turned around, and he whispered behind Lin Xu: "Tell Yingcheng three people a word."

Emperor Wanchang saw that Lin Xu was hesitant and silent. He thought that he could not solve the mystery, so he wanted to speak to help him. Unexpectedly, Lin Xu suddenly became energetic and said loudly: "Three people are facing each other! Type one word."

!”

As soon as Lin Xu's words came out, Emperor Wanchang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard Lin Xi smile and say: "Brother Prince, if I think correctly, the answer should be 'play'?"

Lin Xu didn't know if it was true. He just had a leisurely expression and smiled. Gu Xian behind him could only say: "Yes, King Yueyang is really talented in literature."

Lin Xi chuckled: "It's just a lantern riddle, how can I call it literary talent?" He cupped his hands towards Emperor Wanchang: "Father, will your son solve the riddle this time?"

Emperor Wanchang smiled and said: "Natural"

Lin Xi smiled, walked to the Four Treasures of the Study that had been prepared earlier, picked up a pen and wrote the word "lord", and said with a smile: "Make an idiom."

Gu Xian pondered for a moment and said, "You think it means 'moving forward indomitably'?"

Seeing that he guessed it quickly, Lin Xi was not angry at all, because the answer was just to express his attitude, and there was no difficulty at all, so he nodded naturally.

As usual, this time it was Gu Xian's turn to solve the mystery. Gu Xian thought for a while and said: "The golden crow fell from the west and turned white to see the name of a place."

"Luoyang" A young man in his thirties walked out from behind Shen Cheng and replied with a smile. Needless to say, it was Shen Ju.

"Young Master Shen is so anxious. I admire you, I admire you." Gu Xian smiled and said

"Where is it?" Shen Ju was a little polite, frowned, and said: "Swipe at the willow leaves and shoot a bird."

Gu Hong, who was behind "Thrush" Gu Xian, was the first to give the answer

"Talk on the floor and type a line from Mencius" This is the riddle created by Gu Hong

"For a low position, it is a high position," replied Shen Jue, the second son of the Shen family.



I have to say that the atmosphere of this lantern festival was quite good. At least during the lantern riddle guessing period, everyone from each faction was quite polite. Although Yunzheng was thinking about how to make money to support his new army and the thirteenth princess in the near future.

It’s about Ji Li, but seeing a group of pillars of the Wei Dynasty enjoying themselves guessing lantern riddles, I found it a bit interesting.

At this time, more and more Luoyang people gathered under the lantern building. Some of them were dancing lions, some were playing dragon lanterns, and some forgetful guys even raised their lanterns and shouted in the direction of the lantern building, "Long live the emperor!"

Tonight seems to have become a carnival night for the people of Luoyang. Emperor Wanchang looked a little happy on the lantern tower and thought to himself: Look at these people, they are still loyal to our Lin family royal family!

As soon as he was in a happy mood, he unexpectedly had a rare sense of fun. With a smile on his face, he picked up a lantern nearby and threw it towards the excited crowd!

The people downstairs became more and more excited. The poor lantern enjoyed the benefit of being tossed lightly by hand - and was snatched to pieces by a group of enthusiastic Luoyang people.

The crowd was so excited that the imperial guards protecting the lantern tower were almost squeezed into a ball. The people were getting closer and closer to the lantern tower. Emperor Wanchang was an alert person. He soon discovered that the situation was a little out of control, but he

After thinking about it, I felt that this was just the people being overly excited when they saw themselves as the emperor. If they ordered the Royal Forest Army to fend it off, I was afraid of losing the support of the people, so I finally decided not to say anything, but this was not going to work. Emperor Wanchang couldn't.

I didn't want to be surrounded by a group of people, so I turned around and walked inside to see how the ministers guessed the lantern riddles.

However, he couldn't see it. The moment he turned around, three black metal lights suddenly shot out from the crowd, aiming directly at his vitals!
