Mad wife evil emperor is too black

Chapter 252

At nightfall, the sky was already dark, and the streets and alleys of Yuntian Imperial City had already been dazzled by all kinds of lanterns, making them as bright as day.For a while, the lights were like a long dragon, and the crowd was like a tide.

Bei Cangyue met with envoys from several countries for dinner at Tianxianglou, and she brought Hua Luoxi out.Luo Xi's temperament is relatively lively, she has been bored in the palace during this time, Bei Cangyue specially brought her out to have a look.

During dinner time, Hua Luoxi sat calmly under the eyes of two pairs of knives.With a keen mind, she naturally saw that Huangfu Qianyin and Ji Xuanling were looking at their master in the wrong way.

Perhaps trying to annoy these two on purpose, Luo Xi kept serving Bei Cangyue dishes, pouring wine, and even acted like a baby to show affection.These actions of hers really succeeded in angering those two people.Seeing that their faces were getting darker and darker, Luo Xi suddenly felt in a good mood.

After dinner, everyone took advantage of the full moonlight and stepped into the street together.On the street, the lanterns are like a sea, people come and go, very lively.While strolling, everyone admired the lanterns on both sides.

"Go and have a look at the entrance of Moxiangfang. I heard that they made a precious lamp this year."

"Moxiangfang? It's worth seeing. The exhibits in Moxiangfang are all good things."

"That's right. I remember last year's King of Lanterns came from Moxiangfang. I don't know what good things they made this time."

"I heard that as long as you guess the lantern riddles given by the workshop owner, you can get lanterns for free. Let's go, let's go and have a look."

The crowd was walking when they suddenly heard some voices from the crowd.

"Your Highness, I heard that the lanterns in Moxiangfang are the best in the imperial city. They are not only exquisite in workmanship, but also novel in style. They are not repeated every year. I have won the king of lanterns several times. Shall we go Take a look?" Hearing what those people said, Luo Xi quickly raised his head and said to Bei Cang Yue excitedly.

When Bei Cangyue heard the words, she raised her eyes and looked at the crowd.This time she came with envoys from several countries, so she naturally wanted to hear their opinions.

"Since it's the best, of course I have to go and see it." Huangfu Yuan nodded in agreement.

"That's right. It's good to be more knowledgeable." Xiao Hongjun followed up.

Xiao Hongjun hadn't received the news from the country yet, so he didn't know that Prince Dayao had died suddenly, so his mood tonight was not affected.

Seeing that the two agreed, the others naturally had no objections, so they all walked towards Moxiangfang together.

As soon as they arrived at the street where Moxiangfang was located, everyone saw a two-story attic in front of them, with the three big characters of Moxiangfang hanging high above it.In front of the door of Moxiangfang, a high platform has been set up, and around the high platform, there are many lanterns hanging. Sure enough, there are many styles and they look very beautiful.

"What a beautiful lantern!" Xiao Linglong said with wide eyes when she saw so many lanterns.

"It's really beautiful!" Hua Luoxi agreed with bright eyes.

Huangfu Qianyin and Ji Xuanling glanced at them, one didn't speak, but the other snorted lightly.

In front of the high stage of Moxiangfang, many people have already surrounded.Seeing more and more people, the owner of Moxiangfang - an old man in his sixties immediately stood on the high platform.He straightened his sleeves and looked down with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, what I am about to exhibit in Moxiangfang is this year's proud work, called 'Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix'!" The old man couldn't restrain his excitement, and said loudly.

As soon as his words fell, a giant lantern suddenly landed slowly from the shelf above the high platform, and stopped right in the middle of the high platform.

There are birds spreading their wings painted all around this lantern. The birds are painted so lifelike that they seem to be flying high.Everyone stared at the lantern with wide eyes. Under everyone's gaze, the lantern suddenly started to spin. As it rotated, the bird on the paper seemed to come alive, and actually started to flap its wings.

At the same time, just as the birds were fluttering their wings, a colorful phoenix suddenly flew out from the top of the lantern.The phoenix dragged its colorful wings and soared among the auspicious clouds. When all the birds saw it, they all involuntarily flew towards it.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help being stunned.

"It's so beautiful!" Seeing this lantern, Xiao Linglong opened her mouth wide and exclaimed.

This lantern is indeed beautiful, both beautiful and rare.Not only Xiao Linglong, but even Huangfu Qianyin and Ji Xuanling's eyes widened at this moment.

"Sure enough, it is worthy of being called 'Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix'! The skills of this Moxiangfang are indeed superb!" Xiao Hongjun said in admiration while looking at the lanterns on the stage.

"That's right. The birds on the lamp seem to be alive. This kind of skill is really rare." Wei Hua's second prince also praised.

Bei Cangyue looked at the lanterns on the stage, her eyes flashed slightly.Unexpectedly, the people in Moxiangfang actually understood the principles of early modern cartoons, using portraits and rotations to make the animals in the paintings come alive, which is really not easy.

"Everyone, according to the rules of my Moxiangfang over the years, as long as someone can guess the lantern riddle that the old man posed, this 'Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix' lantern, the old man will give it to him." Seeing that everyone in the audience stared at this A lamp, the old man stroked his beard with a smile, and said proudly.

"Guess lantern riddles! Moxiangfang still has this rule."

"Old Wu's lantern riddles are not easy to guess. I remember last year's Lantern King, but no one got it. In the end, it was bought back by the daughter of Zhongshu Ling's family at a price of 5000 taels of gold."

"That's right. This year's 'Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix' is more refined than last year's, and the lantern riddles will probably be more difficult to guess."

After hearing what the old man on the high platform said, everyone in the audience began to discuss.

"Mr. Wu, can you not make your lantern riddles too difficult? It's too difficult for everyone to guess." While everyone was discussing, a voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.

When everyone heard it, they all agreed.

"That's right. Mr. Wu, don't make such difficult riddles this time."

The old man on the stage didn't change his expression when he heard the words, he glanced around the crowd below, and replied indifferently: "The old man's 'Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix' is worth ten thousand taels of gold, so it is naturally given to someone with unparalleled literary talent. If it's too simple, wouldn't everyone be able to answer it, then who should I give it to?"

The old man's words were not unreasonable, and the people below fell silent after hearing it.Everyone looked at the lantern, some were eager to try it, some shook their heads and sighed.

"Brother Huang, I want that lamp, can you help me?" After hearing the old man's words, Huangfu Qianyin raised her head and said to Huangfu Yuan who was beside her.

Just as she finished speaking, another voice rang out.

"Your Highness, my concubine also wants that lamp, can you help me get it?" Hua Luoxi said to Cangyue facing north.
