The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

The sky is full of fiery trees and silver flowers, and I will have so much fun tonight that I won’t be able to go back to sleep.

Shi Anxia's temptation made even the big black dog Ye Baoer roar excitedly. It seems that as long as His Highness Prince Jin solves the ninety-nine lantern riddles, it will have a new owner.

The common people love to watch the excitement, and this is the excitement within the excitement, so there is no reason not to follow along.

At first, only people from their street followed, and then people from other streets gathered to follow the team.

When they reached the entrance of the lantern tower, almost everyone in the city was following the procession.

Ask each other, "Where are we going? What are we doing? There are so many people lining up."

"I don't know. Just seeing everyone queuing up, there must be something good going on!"

"His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, guesses lantern riddles and solves the level. If you win, you will get a dog."

"Does His Highness Prince Jin still lack dogs?"

"That dog is extraordinary! It's very majestic and spiritual! His Highness Prince Jin fell in love with it at first sight! The owner of the dog offered to give the dog to Prince Jin as long as he succeeds in breaking through!"

"I have to say, the dog owner is so smart! He plays flattery in such a refreshing and refined way! Don't you just want to get on the boat of King Jin? From now on, your family will enjoy endless wealth and glory!"

"This... if you win, you're flattering me. If you lose, wouldn't it mean that you're just flattering me?"

"No! His Highness, Prince Jin, is full of high spirits and determined to win! He must be an unparalleled talent born in my north wing!"

"Let's go, let's move quickly in front, don't delay, let's watch His Highness Prince Jin guess riddles and pass the levels!"

At that time, the curtain was raised and the drama was about to begin.

Chen Yuan stood in the crowd wearing an old man's mask, and nodded invisibly towards Shi Anxia, ​​who was wearing an old woman's mask.

Become!

Shi Anxia's eyes lit up, is Chen Yuan so powerful? Able to change the mystery under the eyes of Wei Huangsi without anyone noticing.

How to do it! Just know he can do it! Her smile hidden under the mask became even brighter.

Downstairs, Chen Yuan's eyes were as dark as ink, too thick to be opened.

He saw Shi Anxia and His Royal Highness Prince Jin talking and laughing...

When King Jin saw An Xia wearing a black cloak and her hair in a woman's bun, he already recognized her as an elderly woman and said, "Why don't you take off the mask and witness the moment when this king breaks through?"

Shi Anxia bowed deeply and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me! Cao Min's husband is usually an unreasonable person. If Cao Min shows his face outside, he will definitely be unhappy. In addition, Cao Min looks ordinary, so he will not offend His Highness. eyes."

In fact, Xiao Sheng just said it casually and didn't force it. He just felt that this woman knew his thoughts very well and helped him. She was really a wonderful person.

Hearing the pious tone of the old woman, "Your Highness, all you need to know is that the people in this capital are here just to see His Highness! The whole city is waiting for His Highness to successfully break through and get the precious mahogany palace lantern." "

"When I take down the mahogany palace lantern, I will give it to you, madam!" Xiao Sheng was beguiled to the point of being filled with pride.

A scholar dies for a confidant! It was about his current mood.

What is the fate of the person who is not destined to be the person, I have long forgotten it.

Now he only has one idea, which is to successfully break through, take the mahogany palace lantern and give it to the old woman, and then accept her dog.

It's not that he cares about the dog, but that the dog is his trophy and his glory.

As long as he takes the dog walking in the streets of the capital, people will talk about how he is so talented in the capital.

Thinking like this, Xiao Sheng looked at the big black dog with extremely eager eyes.

The big black dog looked at him...with a ferocious look, grinning like a fool, and even stopped wagging its tail.

At this time, the Lantern Tower Breakthrough Competition began.

Dozens of tables were placed in front of the lamp building, arranged neatly. There are pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table.

Those who are willing to break through can stand in front of the table on their own.

Xiao Sheng took a few steps forward with confidence and reached the front row in the center.

The people in the capital, led by Shi Anxia, ​​suddenly felt a roar of mountains and a tsunami.

Some people took the lead in shouting slogans: His Highness the King of Jin is so talented!

His Royal Highness the King of Jin is full of knowledge!

His Royal Highness the King of Jin is an amazing talent!

King Jin will win! King Jin will win! King Jin will win!

One after another, some people who had also broken through the barrier came and stood in front of the table.

Among them were scholars and scholars from other places, as well as literati who had failed in Beijing but did not leave, as well as scribes from the Hanlin Academy, and even outstanding figures from various academies in the capital.

Many people came, and the tables were added one after another, until the final number was fixed at sixty-four people.

Some originally wanted to participate, but when they saw King Jin was there, they backed down. Otherwise, more people would participate.

After all, this is an opportunity to show one's face and be noticed by the emperor. Everyone wants to be that person who soars into the sky and is the most talented person in the capital.

In the Furong Lantern Tower, Emperor Mingde asked, "Among all the princes, only the youngest is here?"

Eunuch Qi bent down and replied, "Back to the emperor, the slave is thinking that the one with the old man's mask should be His Royal Highness. The one with the King of Hell mask on the far side is not sure which His Highness it is. And the shortest one wearing the pig head mask should be It must be His Highness Ninth Prince.”

"Hmph!" Emperor Mingde was dissatisfied, "Everyone else knows how to wear a mask, but he is afraid that the people will not know that he is the King of Jin! With such a big fanfare, if he can't pass the test, he will lose my face, and I can't spare him!"

Eunuch Qi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Seeing that His Highness is full of confidence, he must be fully prepared. He is determined to win!"

Emperor Mingde looked worried, "With just the little ink he has, what can he prepare..." He paused at this point, and his eyes darkened, "Who in the Weihuang Division is in charge of the trespassing activities?"

Eunuch Qi replied, "It should be Mr. Liu. Your Majesty, don't worry, Mr. Liu is famous for being selfless and will never do anything disrespectful."

"This is the best." Emperor Mingde raised his eyes lightly and saw the person in charge of the lantern riddle game in Furong Tower appeared.

But with a wave of his hand, a delicate and beautiful lantern rotated and slowly fell from the lantern tower, and finally fell into his hand.

The manager took out the riddle from the lantern and read it loudly without any unnecessary nonsense, "When drawing, it is round, when writing, it is square. It is warm if it is not cool. Type a word."

The riddle was passed down by the person in charge, and then passed back and forth several times by people from the Weihuang Department to prevent the person answering the question from hearing it.

Such a circle, even the common people heard it and asked, "What is this word?"

"Quiet! Quiet! Don't disturb the puzzle solver!"

The puzzle solver started writing answers.

Xiao Sheng quickly wrote the answer: day. Signed: King Jin.

Someone came to collect the answers one by one and gathered them in the hands of the supervisor. Then the answer was announced: Day.

Everyone was stunned. When drawing the sun, it is round, and when it is written in characters, it is square. It is warm when the sun is shining and cool when the sun is not shining. Isn't it just the word "日"?

After the first riddle ended, a bunch of people who wrote the wrong answers were wiped out, leaving only forty people.

To be honest, this question is not difficult, and many people have guessed it. Those who answered incorrectly also did not perform well on the spot and did not think of it for a moment.

When the mystery is revealed, everyone will beat their chests and stamp their feet, and be enlightened.

The next questions became more and more difficult, and many people continued to answer them one after another.

The tenth question is a couplet. The first couplet is: Freezing rain falls on the window, two o'clock in the east and three o'clock in the west.

After about half a stick of incense had passed, the manager sounded the gongs and drums behind him to remind them that it was time to answer questions.

This time, the manager said, "I won't accept the questions and answer them one by one."

King Jin had already finished writing. He raised a confident smile, stood with his hands behind his hands, and looked at the full moon above his head, "The wooden logs used to build a house have eight curved roots and four straight ones."

The manager smiled and nodded, feeling that it was right.

Someone among the people shouted, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is so talented!"

Someone followed from behind: His Highness the King of Jin is the crown prince in the capital!

His Royal Highness the King of Jin is a blockbuster!

King Jin will win!

Emperor Mingde frowned, "Is there a hook?"
