Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 142 Lanterns

   Chatting like this, the sky will be chatted to death soon.

  The fourth prince twitched the corners of his mouth and changed the subject again: "Every year on the New Year's Day, there is a literary meeting in Dingxianglou. The winner can win all kinds of lanterns. Do you want to show off your talents tonight?"

  The Wenhui in Shangyuan Festival is nothing more than guessing lantern riddles and reciting poems.

  Li Jing smiled and nodded slightly.

  The fourth prince immediately smiled and said, "I originally wanted to try my skills. However, with the second brother here, I will not show shame. I will help the second brother later."

   Li Jing took a leisurely look at the fourth prince: "You don't have to flatter me. I won't go to the emperor to complain about such trivial matters tonight."

   The fourth prince breathed a sigh of relief, and cupped his hands again and again: "Thank you second brother."

   In the past few months, Emperor Yongjia did not step into Concubine Qin's palace. Even with the support of the Queen Mother Zhao, Concubine Qin's life was not easy. Even the fourth prince has been extraordinarily honest and calm recently.

  I wanted to play the prince's majesty in the restaurant tonight, but I met my second brother again.

   This luck is really enough.

  Dingxianglou's dishes are really delicious, especially the clear water cabbage, the soup is clear and clean, and a small cabbage heart floats in the soup. It looks unremarkable, but in the mouth, it is full of taste.

  The fourth prince is a person who doesn't like meat, and he also ate a few mouthfuls.

   Before dinner was over, the conference in the lobby downstairs began.

  There are nearly a hundred lanterns in the lobby. Each lantern has a question, and the correct answer will win the lantern.

  Zhou Li, as a top-notch talent, was full of confidence in himself, first pleaded guilty, and went to the lobby with Lu Minghua. In less than a moment, he won two lanterns and came back.

   Everyone couldn't sit still, and went downstairs to join in the fun.

   Li Jing asked Lu Mingyu with a smile: "Xiaoyu, which one do you like, I'll win it and send it to you."

   In such a lively situation, everyone is in high spirits, and Lu Mingyu is no exception. She glanced around and landed on the largest glass lantern.

  Liu Li is a very precious and rare thing in Dawei. As bright as crystal, more transparent than crystal. This glazed lantern has three floors and is splendid. I don't know which craftsman made it.

   Lu Mingyu was not the only one who saw this glazed lantern.

   Zhao Yu's eyes also lit up, and she tugged at the sleeves of the fourth prince and shook it non-stop: "This colored glass lantern is really beautiful. Xian cousin, I want this lantern."

  The fourth prince reluctantly grabbed Zhao Yu's hand and said in a low voice, "Cousin Yu, the second sister-in-law will like the colored lantern in the future. The second brother must win this lantern. I'd better not compete with the second brother."

   Zhao Yu glared over with a pair of almond eyes: "Why do you have to give it to them! No way! I liked it too! Go and win the lantern!"

The fourth prince sighed with a bitter face: "If the second brother doesn't come, I will show my identity and let the shopkeeper send the lanterns directly. Now the second brother has not revealed his identity, and he has to win the lanterns with real talent and practical learning. I also What can be done?"

   Zhao Yu blurted out: "Then you go too! I'm afraid he won't succeed!"

The fourth prince answered honestly, "I'm not afraid. However, the second brother is very smart and unforgettable. The master said that if the second brother goes to the scientific examination, he will at least be in the top one. Well, at most I will be able to take the test. The level of a scholar. Don't lose this person."

   Zhao Yu: "…"

   Zhao Yu glared at her fiancé angrily.

  The fourth prince looked back innocently.

   Zhao Yu couldn't hold back quickly, and laughed again: "Okay, I won't do it! I won't embarrass you anymore."

  The fourth prince was relieved, took Zhao Yu's hand gently, and said affectionately: "Cousin Yu, you are so kind to me. Being able to marry you as my wife is the greatest blessing in my life."

   Two sweet words made Zhao Yu's cheeks flush with joy.

  Lu Mingyu's ears are very sensitive. He didn't intend to eavesdrop, but he could hear clearly.

   She turned her head and silently glanced at the rhetoric fourth prince.

   In the previous life, the fourth prince was sent to the vassal of the barbarians. Within a year, he died. Zhao Yu committed suicide on the day the Fourth Prince was buried and buried for her husband.

   Born with the same fur, died with the same cave.

  This heavy affection, I hope the fourth prince will not live up to it.

   The fourth prince was a little dumbfounded by the meaningful glance of the future second sister-in-law, coughed and laughed: "What is Miss Lu's doing looking at me like this?"

  Lu Mingyu smiled lightly: "It's nothing. I was thinking that the dragon has nine sons, and the sons are different. Several princes have different temperaments."

  For example, this Fourth Prince, who is sleek and clever, looks harmless, but his heart is not much less than a sieve.

  The fourth prince chuckled: "Miss Lu Fourth is really funny."

  Zhao Yu immediately stood on the side of the fourth prince: "Of course. People are different! The cousin who is obviously likes to talk and laugh.

  The fourth prince smiled and looked at Zhao Yu: "In the eyes of Cousin Yu, I am fine in everything."

   Zhao Yu spat at him with a smile: "Don't be stinky. I just said it casually, and you take it seriously." Flirting and flirting.

  Emotions are purely a matter of Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai, one willing to hit and the other willing to suffer. Zhao Yu is willing to do so.

  Lu Mingyu didn't say more, just laughed it off.

  …

   It was Li Jing, who really made a splash tonight.

   Glazed lanterns are the treasures of Dingxianglou. To win this lantern, you have to pass three levels. The first level is to guess ten lantern riddles within a stick of incense. Only in this first level, more than half of the people who joined in the fun were discouraged.

   Those who have passed the first level are matched against pairs. This level, and then eliminated half.

   Finally, there are only five people who can enter the third level. This level is compared to writing poetry and painting.

  Li Jing splashed ink in a stick of incense, painted on the spot, and composed a poem. Won the whole house. Of course he won the first place.

   The shopkeeper personally took off the glazed lantern and sent it to Li Jing.

   The glazed lanterns were full of brilliance. Li Jing was dressed in a jade-green brocade robe, as handsome as jade. With a slight smile, he actually covered the light of the glazed lanterns.

   There are many bold girls and daughters-in-law watching the excitement in the lobby.

   One of the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls was wearing a pink dress, her complexion was not very fair, her facial features were pretty, and there was a beauty mole on her forehead. A pair of eyes kept staring at Li Jing, almost unable to move.

  Li Jing won the glazed lantern and was in a happy mood, and was about to hold it in front of Lu Mingyu.

The pretty girl in the pink dress stepped forward boldly and stopped Li Jing: "The little girl's surname is Yue, and she ranks second in the family. My father opened an **** bureau, which is quite famous in the capital. I dare to ask. What's your surname, son?"

   Seeing the excitement, everyone stretched their necks and raised their ears, lest they miss the excitement.

   The Lu brothers and sisters also found it interesting, and they all looked sideways to see Lu Mingyu's reaction.

  Lu Mingyu remained calm, and only slightly moved his wrist.

  The famous grass has an owner, and he dares to tease it.

   Some people dare to touch the meat in her bowl!
