Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 269 Guessing the Riddle
Jiang Changning was already eye-catching, but when she exclaimed, everyone's eyes fell on her face except the little emperor.

A flawless face, delicate, beautiful and charming.
This is called disfigurement?
If this is called disfigurement, then they are also willing.

People in the know, such as Princess De and the Crown Prince, covered their mouths and sniggered at the dumbfounded looks of the others. It was indeed very interesting!

"Why is your face okay?" Princess Qing was so surprised that she asked on the spot.

Jiang Changning turned to look at her, "My face is fine, but my sister-in-law is disappointed?"

"No, I haven't." Princess Qing immediately denied it.

Jiang Changning smiled faintly, and ignored her, "My lord, what is the answer to this mystery?"

"Tuo, Weiwei Tuotuo, like mountains and rivers, Xiangfu is the word Tuo in Yizhong."

"It's a crime to give up the other, so give it to Tuo."

"Of course."

The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled affectionately. Seeing the noble ladies who were not favored by men, their teeth itch, and cursed secretly, they were really vixen.

Jiang Changning took King Jin to guess the riddle all the way, "Two shapes and one body, four branches and eight heads, four eight one eight, flying springs and flowing upwards. It is also a word guessing, what is the word?"

"This word is very simple, with few strokes." King Jin did not directly answer the riddle, but inspired Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning thought for a while, "It's Tic Tac Toe, Shili Chang Street Shi Jinglian."

"Looking at fairies on the Yueming Bridge." Jin Wang changed the poem, which meant something.

"Fairies love the mortal world, and envy mandarin ducks with white heads." Jiang Changning said deliberately when he saw those people eavesdropping out of the corner of his eye.

King Jin saw that those people didn't guess riddles and stared at their husband and wife, he felt unhappy, but he couldn't speak out to reprimand him, so he ignored it and continued to talk about love with his little concubine.

"Human and moon are round, Xiao Luan and his wife are immortal couples." King Jin said softly.

Jiang Changning smiled, "My lord, let's continue to guess the riddles, come out on top, and get a big reward from the empress dowager."

"Okay, let's continue to guess." Jin Wang stretched out his hand to untie the hemp rope, "The peonies are in full bloom, and the night sky is bright and clear. Princess, guess which idiom it is."

"Peonies are flowers, the moon is bright and clean, and the flowers are full and full, so you guessed it right?"

"The princess is still so smart."

"Thank you, my lord, for your compliment."

The couple guessed the riddle affectionately, disappointing those who were looking forward to the rift between the couple.

The lantern-watching quiz session in the palace lasted for an hour, and the ones who guessed the most and the most correct ones were Jin Wang and his wife.

The queen mother did not break her promise, and generously rewarded 10 taels of gold.

Jiang Changning was in a daze after receiving the reward, guessing a riddle, is it worth so much gold?
With a reward, Jiang Changning was still happy.

Coming out of the palace, it was still early in the day, and when he got into the carriage, Jiang Changning said with a smile, "You're getting rich, my lord, Madam will take you to eat delicious food."

Seeing how cute she was smiling with her eyebrows crooked, King Jin also smiled and said, "Madam is so kind."

"Lang Jun is handsome, Madam likes it just by looking at it." Jiang Changning reached out and touched his face.

"So Madam is greedy for my beauty!"

"You just know."

The couple were playing with flower guns in the carriage, and the carriage headed for Long Street.

When they reached the long street, they got off the carriage, Chang Youzhong, Cao Jiang, Xiaochun and Banqin followed behind, and the other guards dispersed to separate the bustling crowd so as not to run into them.

On the street, small groups of children ran around carrying lanterns in the shape of various animals.

Jiang Changning said casually, "Buy a carp lantern and go back to coax your son."

As he said that, he dragged Jin Wang to the stall to ask the price, but the stall owner said: "The lantern is not for sale. If Madam wants it, please guess the riddle. If you guess correctly, you can take the carp lantern."

"Okay, how many copper coins do you guess once?" Jiang Changning asked.

"Ten copper coins at a time."

Chang Youzhong stepped forward to give the copper coin, and the stall owner unfolded the riddle for them to guess.

It is a very simple riddle: it has a head but no neck, has eyes but no eyebrows, can walk without feet, and cannot fly with wings.

"Fish, did I guess right?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.

"Madam guessed right, this carp lantern belongs to Madam." The stall owner smiled and handed over the lantern with both hands.

King Jin took it and handed it over to Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning carried the carp lantern and took King Jin to a shop selling Yuanxiao, "The shredded Yuanxiao and yellow rice Yuanxiao in this shop are both delicious."

"Cook a few more bowls, let's taste it together, your wife treats you." King Jin smiled.

Chang Youzhong and the others said in unison: "Thank you, Madam, for the reward."

The shop is not big, with only three compartments. Today is the Lantern Festival, apart from two tables of customers sitting in the shop, the other two rooms are also full of customers.

Chang Youzhong followed the couple into the empty inner room, and the other guards were seated in the store.

Soon the silk-drawn Yuanxiao and yellow rice Yuanxiao were brought to the table. The silk-drawn Yuanxiao shone under the crystal clear sugar coating, like golden beads wrapped around silk, tempting the appetite, and it has a special flavor when you look at it.

"Taste it quickly." Jiang Changning took one with chopsticks and put it in King Jin's bowl.

King Jin picked up the Lantern Festival and took a bite. Under Jiang Changning's expectant gaze, he smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

"That must be." Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows proudly.

While eating, he heard Jiang Nan's voice, "Old slave Jiang Nan, please see the two masters."

"It's Uncle Nan, my lord, can I invite Uncle Nan to come in and talk?" Jiang Changning asked what King Jin meant.

"Uncle Nan please." King Jin signaled Chang Youzhong to lift the curtain.

Chang Youzhong raised the curtain, "Uncle Nan, please come in."

Jiang Nan bowed and walked in, bowing to the two, "Old slave Jiang Nan, please greet the prince and the princess."

"Uncle Nan, you don't need to be too polite." King Jin Xu said with support.

Jiang Changning asked with a smile, "Is Uncle Nan also here to eat Yuanxiao?"

"The old slave is next door. I just came out of the meal and saw the car in the palace, so I knew that the prince and the princess are here. I came here to greet the prince and the princess." Jiang Nan explained to avoid the misunderstanding of King Jin.

Knowing that Jiang Nan had already eaten, Jiang Changning didn't order Yuanxiao for him, and asked him to sit aside.

Jiang Nan watched the two of them eating Yuanxiao. When Jiang Changning bit into the yellow rice Yuanxiao, the sesame stuffing flowed out from the corner of his mouth. King Jin took out a handkerchief to help her wipe it, his movements were skillful and natural.

Jiang Nan looked at it, his eyes flickered, and when the two finished eating, he asked, "I wonder if the lord is free tomorrow? The old slave has something important to report."

King Jin stared at him, pondered for a moment, "Tomorrow at noon, I will go to Yushilou for dinner, come and have a few drinks with me."

He is an old and loyal servant of the Jiang family, and he must give him some face.

"The old slave will be waiting for the lord at Yushi Building tomorrow." Jiang Nan didn't stay, got up and left.

After he left, King Jin asked: "Ning Ning, what do you think he can't report in front of your face?"

Jiang Changning smiled and said, "It should be something that must be confirmed by you to see if you want to tell me."

"Will you be angry if I can't tell you after I know it?"

"I never look for trouble."

"Remember what you said." King Jin took her hand.

Chang Youzhong had already paid the bill, and the group left the Yuanxiao shop, continuing to watch the bustling market on the long street.
