After ten years of undercover in the palace, the empress confessed to me

Chapter 65 66. Su Junhou: Let the bullets fly for a while
Hour two quarters.

Following the officials of the Ministry of Rituals, in front of the imperial capital city tower, after singing the sacrificial speech, the annual Lantern Festival for the Divine Sacrifice was officially announced to begin!
At this moment, the entire imperial capital, the streets and alleys, and the common people in every household hung up all kinds of exquisite lanterns.

At a glance, Panchi lanterns, lotus lanterns, Guandao lanterns, and even the octagonal palace lanterns of the rich and powerful are dazzling and beautiful.

On the big day, even the male concubines of rich families and the male prostitutes of Jiaofang were allowed to show their faces and travel without makeup.

Cheers and laughter floated over the entire Divine Phoenix Imperial Capital.

And the busiest one is Qingluan Street in Sifang City.

All this is only because of the mysterious master of Wutong House!
At this moment, in front of the lighthouse built by Wutongju, there are already many scholars who come here admiringly.

Among them, some want to show their talents, decipher the puzzles, and win huge prizes!
Some of them just wanted to join in the fun, to see if they could get a glimpse of the real face of the owner of Wutong House!
There are also some playboys from rich families who come here with the mentality of whether they can be "talented men".

Yes, although it is said that a man is virtuous without talent, but who doesn't love a man who is handsome and well-educated?
You must know that in the lantern show held by the major folk academies tonight, only the owner of Wutongju, not only does not restrict men to participate, but gives great priority to men Confucianism!

now.

Under the expectant eyes of the audience.

A woman wearing a black Confucian robe embroidered with the emblem of Wutongju Academy and a veil climbed up the lamp tower and said loudly:

"Before the lantern riddle quiz starts, according to the ancestral system, all the gentlemen present are invited to join me in worshiping the Nine-Heaven Profound Goddess!"

As soon as the words came out.

All the men and women in the audience took out the prepared bamboo incense and lit it, and worshiped the statue of Nine Heavens Profound Goddess devoutly.

"Miss, shall we also worship? This is the god of the female country!"

Among the kneeling crowd, a 'man' with a mustache said to the girl in red next to him with a hesitant expression.

"Nonsense, do as the Romans do, do you want to expose our identities!"

Bai Yingying glared at the maidservant, took out the bamboo incense sticks, and gave the latter three sticks: "Well, after all, she's also a god of the upper realm, so I'll pay my respects, it's not shameful."

After finishing speaking, her eyes searched everywhere: "It's strange, where did the young man and his wife go just now? Why didn't I see anyone?"

After performing the worship ceremony.

The black-robed woman said again: "Once again, I will pay my respects to today's son and prince! I pray that the Goddess of the Nine Heavens Xuannv will protect the two masters of the empire. The phoenix will unite, and the gods will be born in heaven! Bless my Divine Phoenix Kingdom, the power of the country will be strong, and I will come to the Nine Heavens as soon as possible!" continent!"

The audience knelt down and chanted again.

At this moment, in the last row of the crowd, a tall and proud figure stood still and stood out from the crowd.

Although she was wearing a fairy mask, people still dare not look directly at her pair of majestic phoenix eyes and that invisible aura that is not angry and majestic.

"Ma'am, it's all here, why don't you worship?"

Su Li hurriedly pulled the empress next to her: "So many people are watching, it's not good if you expose your identity."

"Uh, it's okay to worship Nine Heavens Xuannv just now, but now I worship myself, I always feel... weird."

The empress said with a bit of embarrassment.

"Hey, madam, didn't you say before, are we going to integrate into ordinary people tonight?"

"Look at that divine phoenix girl and her lord, they are talented and beautiful, they can be called gods and couples, they are worthy of our worship! Maybe there will be some blessings, and bless our young couple to have a good marriage for a hundred years and have a precious son soon!"

Su Li smiled.

puff.

"You young man. Are you sincerely making me laugh?"

The Empress tried her best to hold back her smile, but her vermilion lips still couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Forget it, I listen to you."

After all, he bit the bullet and bowed.

Eh, no! ?
How can I listen to someone like this now?

Only then did the empress realize what she had done, and she hurriedly warned herself: "This is the last time! Nangong Mei, you are a unique, domineering and assertive empress in this world! You must not be led astray by this eloquent young man in the future!"

After the ceremony.

The black-robed woman waved her hand casually.

On the first floor of the lamp building, several Wutongju disciples stepped forward one after another and uncovered a layer of black cloth.

Immediately, three gorgeous, classic and ingenious glazed palace lanterns appeared in front of everyone.

The black-robed woman stood proudly on the roof, waved her folding fan and said:

"The so-called lantern riddles are subtle, not numerous!"

"As you can see, on these three lanterns are the three lantern riddles prepared by the master of Wutongju for everyone. Those who can solve any of them will be able to get the gift of the first level and enter the third stage of the lantern building. Second floor, participate in the next round of tests!"

"In addition, you don't have to rush over each other. If all three answers are solved, our academy still has enough spare puzzles."

"at last."

As she spoke, she paused, and her voice was a little vain: "According to the wishes of the owner of Wutongju, this time, the men present will try first to guess the riddle!"

As soon as the words came out.

All the women in the audience suddenly booed.

"What the hell? This is the first time this girl has heard of the saying that men come first and women come first!"

"That's right! As we all know, even in the imperial capital, there are far fewer educated men than women! Why should men come first!"

"The hostess of Wutong House is really a weird person! Could it be that she is here to recruit relatives?"

"It's hard to say, it's true! After all, we sisters are also holding a flirtatious mentality~" A rich girl laughed.

At this time, listening to the discussion of the audience.

The empress also frowned, and said via voice transmission: "Junhou, do you really want to go on stage later?"

Su Li smiled and said: "Of course, I have already boasted to His Majesty, and I want to take all of today's awards from Wutongju, and give it to Your Majesty, how can I break my promise?"

In fact, since he has taken over the side mission of the system.

With his temper, he had to kill all directions tonight to see the beauty of the master of Wutong House!

As for the favor of the empress, that's a matter of course.

"Okay, the first puzzle is revealed!"

On the top floor of the lamp building, a woman in black waved a folding fan.

A Confucian scholar from Wutongju stepped forward, tore off the seal on the palace lantern, revealed a puzzle, and read it aloud:

"Looking south to the lone star and the moon rising" type one word!

The first puzzle is announced.

The audience suddenly boiled!

The previous argument between men and women disappeared in an instant, replaced by whispering or mumbling puzzles.

However, the time for half a stick of incense passed, and even though several Confucian women stepped forward to try to answer, they were all misjudged by the woman in black.

On the other hand, Su Li was enjoying watching.

This is too simple!
Is this the level of the Divine Phoenix Nation?

Yes, during the nine years of spy training he received in Tianji Pavilion, some of the difficult courses were special deciphering of the characters and code words of various countries.

It is not an exaggeration to say that with his computing power and knowledge in this life, not to mention these written puzzles of the human race, even some dating inscriptions of the monster races outside the territory, he can solve one or two of them.

This is the confidence of Daxia Xueba.

"Looking at Junhou's expression, it seems that he has already figured out the answer to the mystery?"

The female emperor's phoenix eyes flashed, and she was a little curious.

She is too familiar with the embarrassing little expression of her young husband!

At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet before, before he sang the song "Water Tune Getou", which is shining in the annals of history, he looked so confident!

"To tell you the truth, Madam, yes, this first lantern riddle is like a child's play to my husband."

Su Li seeks truth from facts.

"Since that's the case, why don't you step forward and give it a try?" The Empress rarely joked: "But I'm still afraid of being wrong and embarrassing?"

"No hurry, it's not time for your husband to appear on the stage."

Su Li looked leisurely: "Let the bullets fly for a while."

Empress: (⊙⊙)?
