Palace scheming: Empress Leng Gong I

Chapter 10
His palms tightened inexplicably, and seeing everyone looking at Yun Qing beside him obsessively, Xuanyuan Ze suddenly regretted that he had agreed to her so-called brother and sister title.

If the two of them were considered husband and wife at this time, then the eyes of these people would definitely be restrained.

This kind of thought just flashed by, and he quickly dismissed it with some annoyance.

With such outstanding two people standing together, the first feeling of everyone is that they must be the sons and daughters of some rich family, and even the family has an astonishingly prominent official position.

Even the man who had offered the reward before was stunned for a moment, and then said very politely: "Brother, you mean that your sister can solve this riddle?"

"Exactly!" Xuanyuan Ze responded loudly, and then he led Yun Qing to the lantern, smiled "caringly" and said, "Little sister, let's solve the riddle, everyone is waiting for you!"

"Oh!" Yun Qing replied lightly, there was no tension or embarrassment on her beautiful face, it seemed that Xuanyuan Ze just wanted her to eat and drink as casually as she wanted.

Xuanyuanze's handsome eyebrows frowned, and he cast his eyes to hint at her that what he said just now was not a joke.

However, Yun Qing ignored his gaze, and only glanced at the curious guy, and whispered with her cherry lips: "A tiny place, a small inch of soil, the word should be: dust!"

"What? Chen?"

"Wow, absolutely!"

"Dust! It's a tiny place, Xiaotu! That's right, wonderful, why didn't I think of it!"

The crowd burst into applause, and the man in Tsing Yi excitedly stepped forward to grab Yun Qing's hand, but Xuanyuan Ze blocked it with sharp eyes.

However, his expression was weirder than anyone else's, as if he couldn't believe that Yun Qing had solved the mystery, staring straight at her with sharp eyes, examining her deeply.

"Oh, miss, you are so smart. Congratulations, the boss said that as long as someone is worthy, he must be a talented person. This brocade lantern is yours!" The clerk was stunned for a while, And the back went up to fetch the lamp with a respectful expression, and handed it to Yun Qing with a smile.

"Thank you, it's just that Sister She likes that one more, if she guesses right, can she also give it to us?" Xuanyuan Ze's eyes sank, and his gaze on Yun Qing became even darker.

Seeing that the man was about to deliver the lantern, he quickly waved his hand, pointed to a butterfly brocade lantern hanging on it, and looked at Yun Qing with a smile.

He wants to see if she is really talented or just a coincidence.It is impossible for her to meet all the coincidences in this world, just like she can easily sit on the queen's throne!
"Big brother likes it, right?" Yun Qinghao looked at Xuanyuanze unambiguously, knowing that he did it on purpose, but he was neither angry nor annoyed.

Since he used this position as a threat, then he obeyed his wishes and fulfilled him.

I just hope that when he thinks about abolishing himself in the future, he will think more about it, because he is not useless.

"Hey, it's the same. The boss said that as long as guests guess five of the usual lantern riddles, they can give away one of them. But for the three lantern riddles here, as long as someone guesses correctly, they will get one for free!" The clerk bowed and smiled. The attitude towards the two of them is obviously different from others.

It can be seen that the boss of this store employs people very accurately, at least they are all people with excellent eyesight.

"Come back from stepping on the flowers, the butterfly circled around the knees, and typed the name of a Chinese herbal medicine. Hehe, this is indeed a bit difficult." Xuanyuanze read loudly, and immediately there were people around him: "Yes, those who study medicine have no literary talent, and those who study literature do not know medical classics. Few people can guess the medicine riddle."

"That's right, although the lamp is beautiful, I can only look at it and sigh."

Yun Qing smiled slightly, knowing that the people under the emperor's feet are the most people of this kind, who like to be arty and sour.

However, it is also this kind of person who created a group of talented scholars and talented women.

For example, Yunya and He Ruowan are such outstanding talented women. They are the daughters of high-ranking officials and eunuchs. They often participate in poetry clubs and flower fairs held among women. .

However, she has never liked this kind of activity, and has never participated in it once.Of course, in the eyes of Yunxiu and Yunya, she is not qualified to participate in the...

On the high pavilion, there are red candle gauze curtains, bamboo strings are flicked, and someone gently pushes the window.

A plump and handsome man stood alone by the window, lightly shaking the wine cup in his hand with his slender fingers, quietly looking down at the long brocade lights all over the street.

Suddenly, he clenched his knuckles, his handsome eyes crossed the road and locked tightly on the small figure in front of the lamp shop, and the corners of his pretty mouth were pursed into a line.

"Deng." The orchestral sound stopped abruptly, and the slim figure playing on the couch flickered slightly, and a soft voice came to the window: "Did you see your old friend?"

The man didn't make a sound, but his deep handsome face was even more attractive at this moment.

The woman came in style, smiled at the man, and followed his gaze: "Young master, who is this woman you see? Qing'er is really curious. The young master has always been famous, but he has never seen the young master for a long time. Which woman shows such an expression?"

"Crack!" The man withdrew his hand, and the window lattice suddenly closed.Under the woman's slightly startled expression, his cold voice made her face turn pale all of a sudden: "From now on, you are not allowed to be called Qing'er in front of my son. Also, remember your identity, I will not let you When you stop, you are not allowed to stop playing arbitrarily.”

As he said that, the man didn't look at the woman again, he flicked his black sleeves, and his figure disappeared from the woman with cool palms.

"Master Moyu..." the woman whispered softly, but the man had long since disappeared.Her eyes were red, she could only bite her lip to keep silent.

The brothel doesn't talk about the sincerity, no one knows about the love, when you force your love, you only hope for one person's pity!
"Little sister, but this mystery is a bit difficult, why don't you make a sound?" Seeing that Yun Qing was just staring at the lantern in thought, Xuanyuan Ze began to believe that she had guessed it just because of good luck, and could not help but cough lightly to remind him, the irony in it was only Yun I can hear it clearly.

Facing Xuanyuan Ze gracefully raised the corners of her lips, Yun Qing raised her head to look at the beautiful butterfly lamp, her voice was as clear as pearls, refreshing her heart: "The butterflies are around the knees after stepping on the flowers, and the incense sticks are all over the body!"

For a moment, everyone was silent, they just looked at the woman reciting poetry quietly.It's like appreciating a beautiful picture scroll, and I can't bear to break the tranquility and leisure in the painting.

"Hey, isn't this a guessing game? How come you still have a pair?"

"Stupid, the girl has already guessed it!"

"What, what is the answer to the mystery?"...

Xuanyuan Ze raised his eyebrows, and looked at Yun Qing in shock, the contempt just now was gone; the rest, apart from shock, there was also a strange brilliance secretly flowing.

Smiling at Yun Qing's sudden turning back, his heart skipped a beat, a strange feeling that he had never experienced with Wan'er, quickly spread throughout his body.

"Haha, what a 'Xiangfu full of fragrance'! The girl is very literary." A handsome middle-aged man came out from the shop, walked forward while clapping his hands, and praised: "Unexpectedly, the girl is not only quick-witted , even this medical theory is very proficient. Not only is the answer to the riddle Xiangfu, but also such a good quatrain! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

Yun Qing smiled but said nothing, when the man came to her, she nodded and thanked calmly: "The boss praised it, the little girl just read a few more medical books when she was bored, so she still knows a little about the names of these herbs. One or two, not to mention good literary talent."

"Oh, Miss, are you sure I'm the owner of this store?" The man smiled, although he was asking a question, his expression was completely devoid of surprise.

It seemed that it was expected that Yun Qing could guess his identity.

"The boss came out from the inside, and affirmed the little girl's answer with another sentence, but your buddy seemed a little surprised to see you coming out respectfully, presumably the boss just happened to come over and heard the little girl's riddle." A faint smile, Yun Qing ignored Xuanyuan Ze's cold gaze and talked with the person in front of him.

The man laughed when he heard the words, took down the colorful butterfly lantern himself, and handed it to Yun Qing, saying: "The girl is both talented and beautiful, and I think she must be the daughter of an ordinary family. I am not talented, and only this lantern made by me looks good." Gift, please accept it with a smile."

"Thank you, boss!" Yun Qing gladly took it, then pulled up Xuanyuan Ze who was already extremely gloomy, and smiled playfully: "Brother, since we have lanterns, let's go to the river to put them on!"

As she spoke, she said goodbye to the boss, and quickly dragged Xuanyuan Ze out of the admiring crowd.

"My lord, why don't you leave?" Not far away, a young boy with a delicate face raised his head in surprise at the handsome man who suddenly stopped beside him, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Nothing, let's go!" After being stunned, the man closed his handsome eyes and turned around.

This person was dressed in white clothes, his handsome facial features were like gods, and his slender figure was elegant and elegant.Although standing on the street with people coming and going, there is a kind of quietness that stands proudly outside the world, so that people passing by can't help but look at him more.

Just now he heard a very familiar voice, and when he turned his head, he saw a man and a woman coming out of a lamp shop hand in hand, rushing in the opposite direction.

He didn't know the man, but the woman's back was very familiar, like a cloud.

However, he quickly shook his head, ignoring the confusion of the attendants, and concealed the familiarity.

Because he knows that Yun never likes to go to crowded places, let alone watch lanterns with a man alone on the street.

The corners of his lips raised slightly, he didn't know, what kind of surprise would she have when he came to Tianque early this year and saw Yun again?
Seemingly aware of a familiar gaze coming from behind, Yun Qing turned her head subconsciously, her clear eyes passed through the crowd, but she saw nothing.

However, that gaze was so deep that she couldn't help but think of the handsome man who buried her in her heart, that handsome young man with a smile like a spring breeze.

Her beautiful eyes darkened, she stretched her lips and smiled lightly because she thought of the wind.

Since ancient times, I have missed my relatives a lot during festive seasons. Perhaps on such a beautiful full moon night, it is normal to miss him from the bottom of my heart!Forget it, I am outside the palace at this moment, so I let myself indulge for a while, and then I will hide it deeply when I enter the palace...

As soon as he left the crowded crowd, Yun Qing quickly let go of Xuanyuan Ze's sleeves, and smiled apologetically at him: "I'm sorry, brother, it was too crowded just now, I think it's better to come out earlier to get some air!"

"The queen's literary talents are really good!" With a cold snort, Xuanyuanze couldn't tell whether he was shocked or angry at the moment.

He didn't expect her so-called "lack of talent and learning" to be so unexpected!Hmph, if she wasn't too modest, then she must be a very deep person in the city.

It is almost certain that the reason why I stood with her on this Jingxing Street today instead of watching the lanterns with Wan'er was all planned by this woman early in the morning!

Oh, what a scheming queen!

Listening to him deliberately biting the word "Queen", and feeling his anger from shallow to deep, Yun Qing's beautiful eyebrows also frowned slightly.

She really didn't know why this emperor was so difficult to deal with. He was not satisfied with her peacefully being a talented and incompetent woman.She complied with his coercion and completed what he told her, which made him even more dissatisfied.

She wondered if he would be satisfied as long as she was no longer a queen.

"Brother, don't you like this lamp? That's right, this lamp is ostentatious and flashy, how can it compare with the special palace lanterns in the palace! If that's the case, Yun Qing just throw it away." The smile couldn't help becoming ironic, In fact, she and he both know that this lamp is like a clear cloud, no matter how beautiful it is, people will always find fault.

Its self does not have any decision-making power, whether to throw it away or keep it, it can only be at the mercy of those who hold the lamp.

Raising his hand, Yun Qing sneered and threw out the lamp.

Forget it, since this post is a thorn in everyone's eyes, she doesn't mind.Dad's side, let him go.

"Hey, it's a pity that someone is willing to throw away such a beautiful lantern. Fortunately, I caught up with it." I didn't hear the expected landing sound, but I heard a clear voice coming from behind the two at the right time.

Meimou stubbornly looked at Xuanyuan Ze who was also staring at her, Yun Qing knew who it was without even turning her head.

Xuanyuan Ze, who was stunned by Yun Qing's desperate expression when he threw the lamp, heard the voice of the person behind him, and couldn't help but turn around with great displeasure: "Why are you here?"

"Ha, what a coincidence, why is it you? Hey, Huang... Qingmei, so you and Zedi came to enjoy the lantern together?" Xuanyuan Moyu looked at the two of them in surprise, holding the lantern that was covered by Yunqing The butterfly lantern that was thrown out with all its might, smiled naturally and innocently on purpose.

As for Yun Qing, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Xuanyuan Moyu who was smiling at him in surprise, and found that he seemed a little different tonight.

Especially when he called Qingmei, he was less frivolous and more caring, which warmed her heart inexplicably, and the coldness just now dissipated unconsciously.

She raised her lips and smiled at Xuanyuan Moyu, she said: "Brother Moyu, what a coincidence! Thank you for helping me retrieve this lamp.".
