After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Chapter 25 Lantern Festival ([-])
Zhu Langshuo was flattered and complacent by Shen Mengxi, but when he saw the lantern riddle on the lantern at the top, the smile on his face froze, and then he frowned, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The content involved in the lantern is a field that I have never heard of, and I have no clue in my heart.

"What's the matter? Brother Zhu." Shen Mengxi noticed that Zhu Langshuo's expression was a little unnatural.

Zhu Xiaohou only felt that Shen Mengxi's voice was harsh, and wished to sew her mouth shut. What she said just now put him alive on the fire, and felt that his face was burning right now.

Zhou Lingli, who was labeled as disobedient, shut her mouth at the moment, and dared not say anything, obviously she hadn't recovered from the shock just now.

Some spectators didn't think it was a big deal, and they teased, "You still can't see it? You are talking about Brother Zhu who is rich and rich~ I'm afraid it's a waste of fame, right?" He also deliberately cadenced the word "Brother Zhu".

"Just now I swore that he could solve the lantern riddles, but when I saw it, hey, he couldn't solve it! So, you can't say too much, otherwise you will be the one who will be ashamed in public."

"Learn to be rich and five cars? I'm afraid you have learned five cars' romantic scripts?" Some people who are not used to it sneered.

A group of sons and daughters booed and laughed, Zhu Langshuo always cared about face, he had never been so humiliated before, his face turned red and then turned pale, and he wanted to find a place to turn in.

Su Wunian looked at Zhu Langshuo's face as if watching an acrobatic show, and a gleam of pleasure flashed across those bright eyes that were full of stars.

In the past, Shen Shengge stuck to Zhu Langshuo, doted on him, and regarded him as a treasure in his heart, but these were worthless in Zhu Langshuo's eyes, and he even looked down on Shen Shengge from the bottom of his heart, thinking that Shen Shengge was not worthy of him.

Little did they know that Shen Shengge's reputation was ruined because of him.

Because she sympathized with Shen Shengge, she couldn't help but make a move and trampled this self-proclaimed superior man into the mud.

Shen Mengxi stepped forward at this time, "So what's the matter with learning rich and five cars? Then it doesn't mean that you know astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom. You know everything, right?"

"Cousin, this is your fault. You clearly hate Brother Zhu in your heart, and you deliberately chose the most difficult lanterns to embarrass Brother Zhu in front of you!" You spoke confidently and decisively.

"I didn't expect that you are such a person!" Shen Mengxi was angrily, as if she had been greatly wronged, as if Su Wunian had a vicious mind and deliberately took revenge.

Zhu Jian stared wide-eyed and couldn't believe it, what kind of person could be so shameless, "Our eldest lady is not such a person!"

"Oh? It turns out that Young Master Zhu can't guess the answer. Since that's the case, I don't want to force others to make things difficult for me, so let's forget it." Su Wunian raised her lips lightly, with a smile that was not a smile.

She called me "Master Zhu", not "Brother Zhu". She used to chase after herself and call me "Brother Zhu" over and over again!Is it because I failed to solve the lantern riddle that she changed her mind?Zhu Langshuo felt a little flustered.

Moreover, Su Wunian's indifferent expression at the moment, in Zhu Langshuo's eyes, was like a deadly mockery.

"It's just a pity, that lantern is really beautiful."

"However, Young Master Zhu, don't belittle yourself. After all, the lantern has been hanging for many years, and no one has solved the mystery so far. It's normal that you can't guess it." These words seemed to excuse Zhu Langshuo, looking for a step down.

But because of Shen Mengxi's previous praise, it seems a bit self-deprecating.

Zhu Langshuo has always been proud and arrogant, but he felt that her every word was cruel.

"This lantern riddle can only be solved by a truly knowledgeable general who understands strategy and art of war." Obviously, Su Wunian alluded to Zhu Langshuo's not being very knowledgeable, but someone who was trying to gain fame.

"That's right, otherwise the leader of the lantern wouldn't have been hanging for several years and no one would take it away." Someone echoed.

"As for him, Zhu Langshuo, a slutty young man who only knows how to behave in the world of mortals, is it okay to talk sweet words to coax ignorant girls? He has no ink in his chest, and he is ostentatious." The famous nobleman who has long been displeased with Zhu Langshuo's style, said sarcastically.

During the reign of the Empress Dowager, the status of women in Qingyuan Kingdom was greatly improved, and it was no longer blindly superior to women, and there was a precedent for women to enter the court as officials.

The folk customs are gradually opening up. In fact, it is very common to see a woman holding the arm of a man she likes on the street, but I can't understand Shen Mengxi and Zhu Langshuo's demeanor.

A cousin who is a fiancée does not keep a distance from her future cousin-in-law, but steals the show; while the other, a fiancé, actually flirts with her fiancée's cousin in front of his fiancee, which is even more disgusting.

Zhu Langshuo clenched his fists in his blue sleeves, "Wang Yanyi, you say I'm ostentatious, can you tell me the answer?"

"I know that I have little talent and learning, so I won't boast about it and let my fiancée choose lanterns at will." Wang Yanyi looked contemptuously, "Since you can't fulfill your promise, don't make it lightly, and make people happy in vain."

"Cousin, choosing a good son-in-law is a matter of a lifetime. It's not about spending time together with a few sweet words. It's about getting to know each other, caring for each other silently and being tolerant. There is no rush."

Only then did Su Wunian look away from the Begonia beauty lantern, and turned to look at the man who called her cousin.He was wearing a wormwood-colored, silver-threaded, green bamboo lingfeng robe. He was tall and handsome, and had an outstanding demeanor. His eyebrows and eyes seemed somewhat similar to Shen Shengge.

It turned out to be my uncle's legitimate son, Wang Yanyi.It's Su Wunian's cousin, Shen Shengge's cousin.Su Wunian lost her mother since childhood, and went to Nanchen Kingdom as a hostage for six years, so she only met Wang Yanyi a few times.

As for Shen Shengge, his mother was in a coma since he was a child, and with Zhang Zhilan's instigation, he was not close to his grandfather Wang's family, and he was very close to Wang Yanyi.

"Don't even look at what your cousin looks like? She looks mediocre, except for her status as the eldest daughter of the Shen family, she is useless." Zhu Langshuo suddenly felt that his masculine dignity was being trampled on.

"No one is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and embroidery female red is not worth mentioning. She is also arrogant, ruthless, savage and jealous. If she hadn't been engaged to me since childhood, who else would marry her in the entire imperial capital?"

When Shen Mengxi heard Master Zhu's impassioned rebuttal, she was secretly delighted: It seems that the day when Brother Zhu will retire is not far away!

"..." Wang Yanyi retorted speechlessly. After all, Shen Shengge's reputation in the imperial capital was not good. She had persuaded Shen Shengge before, but she didn't know what she liked about Zhu Langshuo, so she wanted to marry Zhu Langshuo with all her heart. he!

So he looked at his cousin with hatred, "Think about it yourself."

But when he looked at his cousin, she had an expression of innocence, nothing to do with herself, and she was almost so angry that he died suddenly on the spot.

People are so open and dislike you, why don't you take it seriously? !
Seeing that Wang Yanyi was at a loss for words, Zhu Langshuo seemed to be encouraged, in order to cover up the embarrassment just now, he said firmly in a high-pitched voice: "I think it's not that I gave the wall to the shoulders, but that the leader of the lantern was just hung up on purpose by the shopkeeper. It’s a gimmick. In fact, there is no answer to the lantern riddle above.”

　Squeeze it.

　　Su Wu thought about her grandfather's family:
　　Wang Zijiang: Su Wu misses his biological mother.

　　Wang Zishan: Wang Yanyi's father, the Duke of the State.

　　Wang Ziyuan (the youngest daughter): Shen Shengge's biological mother, who was in a coma.

　　Therefore, Su, Wang, and Shen are cousins.
