Tyrant's First Favorite Concubine

Chapter 161 Lantern Riddles

Butler Rong stomped his foot secretly, cursing inwardly, His Royal Highness is too stubborn, why did he have to invite Yu Li out?The general will come back in a while, but he can bear some.

The Prince's Mansion is close to the imperial palace, but it is not as magnificent as the imperial palace. It is indifferent and elegant, but without losing the royal air.Yu Li raised the car curtain, silently admiring the large expanse of red calyx vines on the outer wall of the mansion, the small red flowers blooming brightly, looking like brocade from a distance.

"Miss Gu, we're here."

The sedan chair stopped, and Duan Cunfeng said loudly outside.

Zhu'er cleverly opened the curtain, helped Yu Li out of the sedan chair, with uncontrollable joy on her face, she said with a smile: "This prince's mansion is really grand, I thought our general's mansion was already the most convenient mansion in the imperial capital, unexpectedly This Prince's Mansion is even more extraordinary, miss, look over there, there is actually a flock of white pigeons, so cute..."

Yu Li just nodded and didn't say much.

Duan Cunfeng on the side quickly said: "Miss Gu, please, His Royal Highness is at Liushuixuan, and he must have been waiting for a long time."

"Then, please ask Mr. Duan to lead the way." Yu Li smiled lightly.

Duan Cunfeng waved his hand, and said: "Miss Yu can just call me Cunfeng in the future, come here, please—"

After all, Duan Cunfeng led Yu Li into the mansion.

The paths in this mansion are all paved with wooden slats, walking on them is clean and refreshing.Although it is midsummer at this time, the mansion does not feel hot at all, because the whole mansion is built on the side of Haoyue Lake, not only can the lake water flow into the garden, but also can feel the refreshing cool breeze of Haoyue Lake.

After passing through a few paths, a pavilion appeared in front of the pavilion. In front of the pavilion, a large piece of emerald green wormwood was swaying in the wind, shining faintly under the sun.

And Dongfang Shangyu, standing in this piece of wormwood at this time, with a smile on his face, looking at Yuli, he said softly, "I have been waiting for you for a few days, and finally you are here?"

Seeing Dongfang Shangyu, Duan Cunfeng and Zhu'er hurriedly saluted. They did not expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would stand outside and wait in such hot weather.

After the ceremony, Duan Cunfeng whispered to Zhu'er: "Let His Royal Highness have a chat with Miss Gu first, I will take you to see the lotus flowers in Haoyue Lake, and pick some lotus pods by the way."

Zhu'er's eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise, "Are there any lotus pods here? That's great, then let's go quickly."

After finishing speaking, Zhu'er hugged Yu Li and walked away with Duan Cunfeng.

The world became quiet in an instant, only the fresh scent of mugwort diffused in the air.Yu Li stared fixedly at Dongfang Shangyu without saluting. After a long time, she said, "I always thought you smelled like mugwort, so that's why."

Dongfang Shangyu led Yu Li into the pavilion, and said: "I always like wormwood, I think it is clean."

Speaking of this, Dongfang Shangyu turned around suddenly, his eyes wandered over Yu Li, as if he was looking for some answer, he looked at it for a while, and asked, "Are you having a good time these few days?"

Yu Li didn't start, pretending to be relaxed and said: "I'm fine, by the way, after you repair the Luqiqin, it is no different from before, I should thank you."

Dongfang Shangyu smiled softly, and said: "Since you talk about him from left to right, I naturally don't need to ask more questions, but I hope you know that in this imperial capital, I am willing to do anything for you, and... I can do anything for you too."

Yu Li turned around and saw how firm and confident his eyes were. Indeed, the world of Yu Tianchao will belong to him in the future, of course he is qualified to say so.

"Why, don't you believe it?" Seeing Yu Li's astonished expression, Dongfang Shangyu seemed a little disappointed, his eyes were obviously hurt.

Yu Li shook her head quickly and said, "I don't believe it, it's just..."

"Just what?" Dongfang Shangyu pressed harder and harder.

Yu Li was a little at a loss, so she had to say softly: "You invited me here today, is it because you want to talk about this? I heard that there are many calligraphy and paintings by famous artists in your house, can you let me have a look?"

"Why, you are also interested in calligraphy and painting?" Dongfang Shangyu was a little surprised, as if he had discovered a new treasure.

Yu Li picked a chair by the window and sat down, and said in a calm tone: "My father, he was in love with calligraphy and painting for 10 minutes, and I just heard it."

"That's good!" Dongfang Shangyu nodded, then turned around, took a few sets of scrolls from the study next to him, and said with a smile: "It is said that you can know people by reading, you may see that in these few pictures, where is the scroll?" One is from my pen?"

As he spoke, Dongfang Shangyu gently opened the scroll, and placed a few words on the table one by one, and suddenly a pleasant scent of ink came to his nostrils.

Yu Li stood up and glanced over one by one. When she saw the third word, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said: "This word, the writing is elegant and free, but the writing is vigorous and powerful, and every word is clean. Neat, without distraction, presumably no one can write such a character except His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Dongfang Shangyu was surprised, he didn't expect that Yu Li could see it so accurately.

At this time, Yu Li's gaze locked on a pair of small characters on the far left. The rice paper on which the writing was written was somewhat rough, not as exquisite as the other ones, but it was written: Clouds don't fall because of rain, and blowing damage can't be borrowed. east wind.Forming a natural red flower, how hard is it?It is difficult to hide white butterflies with pistils, and flowers do not provoke bees.In the quiet painting hall in the middle of the night, I once accompanied the jade man in his spring dream.

Dongfang Shangyu picked up the scroll with a light smile, and asked: "In your opinion, who wrote this calligraphy?"

Yu Li pondered and said: "The next few pictures are all from everyone's hands, but this one is beautiful and exquisite, and it is self-contained. I like it very much."

At this moment, Duan Cunfeng and Zhu'er walked in from outside the door. Zhu'er was holding lotus pods and lotus flowers in her hands, like a child who got her wish.

Duan Cunfeng obviously heard what Yu Li just said, and said with a smile: "If Miss Wushuang hears Miss Gu praise her like this, she will definitely regard Miss Gu as her bosom friend."

"Wushuang?" Yu Li heard this name for the first time.

Dongfang Shangyu said: "Miss Wushuang is also a woman with both talent and beauty. If I have time in the future, I would like to introduce you to each other. However, this picture was originally a lantern riddle given to me by Wushuang. Unfortunately, from last year's Lantern Festival to now, I have not seen it. Still no answer."

It turned out to be a lantern riddle!Yu Liruo realized something.

Zhu'er glanced at it and said with a smile: "Even His Royal Highness has not solved the answer, this lantern riddle is really difficult."

Duan Cunfeng thought for a while, and said: "Why don't you ask Ms. Gu to help me out. A few days ago, the Crown Prince and I went to see Miss Wushuang, and Miss Wushuang still made fun of this."

Dongfang Shangyu stood aside, still smiling, really waiting for Yu Li to solve this lantern riddle.

Yu Li hesitated for a moment, then spread out a clean declaration, picked up a brush, and quietly wrote: "The white snake swims across the clear water pond, on the bank of a lotus."

As soon as the pen was written, Duan Cunfeng exclaimed: "Miss Yu's handwriting is so beautiful, it really is like seeing a person when you see the words..."

"Cough cough..."

Dongfang Shangyu coughed lightly, and Duan Cunfeng immediately realized that he had lost his composure, and swallowed what he hadn't finished speaking.

Such an expression actually provoked Zhu'er to burst out laughing.

Dongfang Shangyu quietly picked up Yu Li's writing, stared at it for a long time, and said, "So it is it!"

"Did you guess it?" Yu Li asked.

Dongfang Shangyu pointed to the oil lamp on the bronze lamp, and said with a smile, "Isn't it?"
