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

Chapter 26 Lantern Festival ([-])
"Otherwise, my imperial capital is full of talents, how could no one solve the mystery after hanging up for several years in a row?"

As soon as this remark came out, some of the people who had gathered to watch afterward began to discuss in a low voice, dubiously believing it.

"People who are ignorant and ill-informed always make excuses for themselves." The ethereal and pure voice is like a clear stream in the noisy voices, and like a cool breeze suddenly blowing under the scorching sun, blowing away the heat and noise .

"'The long sword is holding Dongwu, and the feather fan is lightly waving to determine Xishu.' The good poem is like a rainbow. It can be seen that the person who solves the lantern riddle must pass through the sky and the earth. He has the ability to linger, and he will be the hero of the future." He came out of the crowd. Come, passers-by are all for him, although he is wearing a light gray and silver robe with lotus leaves outlined, restrained and elegant, but at this moment it is radiant and scorching.

"Master Chu!"

"It's Mr. Chu!" The ladies from famous families in the crowd were all amazed. They thought they would meet him in the blind shooting competition tonight, but they did not expect to meet him like this.

Three or two girls shyly whispered to each other, happy in their hearts, they all came for him.

"Mu Chen, when did you come?" Wang Yanyi and Chu Muchen have known each other since they were young, and they have been friends since they were wearing shorts and digging eggs.

He mainly wanted to know if he saw it when he was left speechless by the question.It's okay to lose face, but don't lose face in front of him.

"Unfortunately, I saw them all." Chu Muchen flinched on purpose.

Wang Yanyi: "..."

He turned his eyes and went straight to Su Wunian. His starry eyes were shining brightly, his charming peach eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his eyes were moving, captivating. "Miss Shen's analysis is correct. The answer to this mystery is indeed related to the art of war."

Zhu Langshuo pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, shook off Shen Mengxi's holding his hand, leaned in front of Shen Shengge, and raised his neck, "Chu Muchen, you said that the leader of the lantern has the answer, so let's hear it. Don't stay here Therefore, they spread doubts and said some ambiguous words in an attempt to muddle through."

Chu Muchen's figure was tall and straight, a full head taller than him, with flirtatious youthful lips raised slightly, and peach blossom eyes looking down, "The long sword is in the grip of the Soochow Wu, and the power is controlled by profit."

Control power because of profit.Why didn't I think of it?Su Wunian raised her eyes to look at Chu Muchen again, with a little more appreciation and pity in her eyes.

I didn't expect the impulsive and reckless Chu Yijing to teach such an outstanding son. Fortunately, no one was killed that night, otherwise I, Qingyuan, would have lost a rare general.

"..." Zhu Langshuo was stunned, his puffed chest was slightly retracted, his shoulders were slightly slumped, as if he had been severely frustrated, "This..."

There was a lot of fog before the answer was revealed, and the moment the answer was revealed, it was another village, and everyone suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

"Wonderful! Really wonderful!"

"The one who solves the riddle is a great talent, and the one who answers the riddle is amazing! Wonderful, wonderful!"

"What do you mean? What is the answer to this mystery? It is simply another mystery." Seeing the expressions of everyone, Shen Mengxi still wanted to win back because she couldn't understand this answer at all.

Wang Yanyi let out a smirk, "A transparent person can understand with one point, but a stupid person can't understand her."

The sons and brothers behind him laughed, and Shen Mengxi blushed with anger, and stomped her feet, "You...you go too far!"

"Master Chu really knows people." The owner of the lantern shop climbed up the bamboo ladder, carefully took down the Begonia beauty lantern, and walked to Chu Muchen with a smile, "This lantern should be given to Mr. Chu."

"Such a beautiful lantern, naturally it should be given to a beautiful lady." Chu Muchen looked at Su Wunian, who was standing in front of the lantern stand, her porcelain-like skin covered with crimson, and her charming and dangerous peach blossom eyes had a deep smile, "Since Miss Shen I like this lantern, and I would like to give the beauty of an adult to Miss Shen."

"Thank you." Su Wunian always cherishes talents, and treats talented people with special respect.

Zhu Jian stepped forward, took the lantern from the owner of the lantern shop, and was overjoyed. It would be great if the eldest lady's fiancé was Mr. Chu!
However, standing between Chu Muchen and Su Wunian, Zhu Langshuo's chest rose and fell violently, as if it was about to explode on the spot, and the meridians on his neck stood up tremblingly, flushing red.He is Shen Shengge's fiancé, how could Chu Muchen give the lantern to Shen Shengge in front of him and in full view of everyone? !

Deceiving too much!

How could Shen Shengge accept the lanterns given by other men in front of him?
shameless!
On the attic across the street from the Lantern Shop, in the antique mahogany window, the angular and slender fingers picked up the yellowed military book on the black book case again, and the thin lips were as pale as the color of hibiscus blooming, slightly raised, Seemingly unrestrained, "Chu Muchen."

His obsidian-like pupils shone brightly, and all the colorful lanterns were reflected in them. He withdrew his eyes, which were as pale as water, and fell back on the yellowed pages of the book.

In front of the lantern shop, Zhu Langshuo shook his sleeves and left angrily, "Brother Zhu, wait for me!" Shen Mengxi followed quickly to comfort him.

Su Wunian nodded slightly to Chu Muchen and Wang Yanyi, and walked towards the Star Picking Tower.And the people who watched the excitement gradually dispersed.

"My cousin has a very stubborn temper." Wang Yanyi sighed and shook her head, "I don't know what she likes about Zhu Langshuo!"

"Like it?" Chu Muchen didn't think that the Shen Shengge in front of him seemed a little different from the rumored one.

"Although our Qingyuan girl is eclectic and brave to show her love, she is also too proactive. Men will not cherish it if they blindly take the initiative." Wang Yanyi's analysis is clear and logical.

"You know it well? Have experience?" Chu Muchen teased.

Wang Yanyi scratched her head and smiled foolishly, "I usually like to read story books, isn't that what's written in them?"

Chu Muchen patted Wang Yanyi's shoulder with his hand, and said earnestly, "Stop staying up late, take it easy."

"Let's go." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the bustling and noisy, with a silver crown and light gauze, outlined by gilt silk threads, even the back view was elegant, elegant and youthful.

"where to?"

"Go to the Star Picking Tower."

"Are you going to participate in the blind shooting competition?" Wang Yanyi chased after him, "Didn't you never tirelessly participate in similar competitions?"

"Blind shooting is more interesting than a martial arts competition. I'm part of this excitement."

"Alright, if you don't go, those famous ladies in the imperial capital who are fighting for your splendor tonight may be lost again."

The towering Star Picking Pagoda is an ancient pagoda left over from the previous dynasty, with strange beasts on the top and flying eaves.According to legend, it was designed and built by a sorcerer who is proficient in Qimen Dunjia. When you climb to the top, you can pick stars and hear fairy language.

The common people put Kongming lanterns in the air for blessing, begging the gods to see and fulfill their wishes.The Kongming lanterns all over the sky, carrying thousands of small wishes, have become an indispensable beauty of the Lantern Festival.

The venue for the blind shooting competition was set in the open space around the Star Reaching Tower. At this moment, the field was cleared and guarded by guards wearing scarlet armor, because the young emperor and the eldest princess wanted to come and see the blind shooting competition in person.

The pavilions in the imperial capital are generally not high, so the eldest princess and the young emperor did not climb to the top, but decided to wait and see the competition on the ninth floor.

　"Those who are in power control power because of profit." --Quoted from "Sun Tzu's Art of War"

　　It roughly means that the creation of a military situation must be based on one's own favorable conditions and adapt to the complex and changeable battlefield situation.It is not to define "potential", but to emphasize how to create "potential".
